§ 16335 School District Loan Repayment Terms
This law tells school districts how to pay back money they got from the state: they must make 20 equal yearly payments, but the payment can’t be bigger than a small percentage of the district’s property value for each school level.
A district receives a $1,200,000 loan for school construction. The district’s assessed property value for each grade level is $10,000,000.
The district would normally split the $1,200,000 into 20 equal payments of $60,000 each year. Because the law caps the payment at a tiny share of the property value, the yearly payment is reduced to the capped amount.
Annual Payment = min[ (Principal + Accrued Interest) ÷ 20 , Rate × Assessed Value per Grade Level ]
Loan of $1,200,000 (principal $1,000,000 + interest $200,000). Assessed value per grade level = $10,000,000. Fiscal year 1979‑80 (old rate).
Result: Equal yearly amount = 1,200,000 ÷ 20 = $60,000. Cap amount = 0.00175 × 10,000,000 = $17,500. Because $60,000 > $17,500, the district pays $17,500 each year.
