§ 16504 School Construction Fund Appropriation

This law creates a special pot of money called the State School Construction Fund. It says all the money in this fund can only be used to build or fix schools, and it doesn’t expire or reset every year.

Key Takeaways

  • •There’s a special fund just for building or fixing schools.
  • •The money in this fund doesn’t disappear at the end of the year—it stays there until it’s used.
  • •The fund can get money from different places, like the government or other sources.

Example

A school’s roof is old and leaking, and they need money to fix it.

The school can ask for money from the State School Construction Fund to pay for the repairs. The money is always available and doesn’t run out just because a new year starts.
