§ 17023 School Construction Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •This law does not change who is in charge of school buildings and land.
  • •The Department of Education and the Department of General Services still have the same jobs and powers for schools.
  • •Other laws (in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of Part 10.5) still decide how school buildings are built and managed.

Example

A school wants to build a new playground.

The Department of Education and the Department of General Services are still the ones who decide how and where to build it, just like before this law.
