§ 16328 School Building Construction Requirements

• •Funding is only given if the entire building program meets the code’s construction requirements.
• •The rule covers new construction, rebuilding, changes, or additions to school buildings.
• •Districts must have compliant plans before they can receive any state money for those projects.

A district asks for state money to add a new science lab to an elementary school, but its overall plan for renovating several schools doesn’t meet the code’s safety and design standards.

Because the district’s complete renovation plan isn’t up to code, the state will refuse to give the money for the new lab.
