§ 16540 School District Funding Adjustment

This law says how much money a school district gets from the state for certain projects. If the federal government also gives money for the same project, the state will give less money to the school district.

Key Takeaways

•The state gives money to school districts for certain projects.
•If the federal government also gives money for the same project, the state gives less money.
•The school district gets the state money minus the federal money.

Example

A school district wants to build a new school building. The state says they can get $1,000,000 for this project. But the federal government also gives them $300,000 for the same building.

Because the federal government gave money, the state will give less. The school district will get $700,000 from the state instead of $1,000,000.

How to Calculate

State Money = Total State Amount - Federal Money

Find out how much money the state says the school district can get.
Find out how much money the federal government gives for the same project.
Subtract the federal money from the state money to find out how much the school district actually gets from the state.

A school district is approved for $500,000 from the state for new computers. The federal government gives $150,000 for the same computers.

Result: $350,000 (This is what the school district gets from the state after the federal money is subtracted.)

The board shall compute for each applicant school district the amount to which the district is entitled under this chapter in the manner prescribed by this article. The amount so computed shall be reduced by the amount received or to be received by the district under Public Law 815 of the 81st Congress, as amended, or any similar provisions of any other act of Congress, solely on account of the participation of the federal government in the state project or shall be reduced by the percentage of the cost of the project (as that term is defined in Section 41930) borne by the federal government, whichever is the greater amount. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997. Operative January 1, 1998.)
