center to be maintained by the Stockton Unified School District, to
serve an area in great need of occupational preparation. It is the
further intent of the Legislature, by this article, to improve the
employment opportunities of persons residing in areas of need for the
training by providing educational programs of a nature that will
serve the social and economic needs of that area. The program
provided will also serve to upgrade the cultural and intellectual
life, as well as the economic life, of the area to be served.

regional occupational center pursuant to subdivision (b) and the

pursuant to subdivision (c), may be undertaken pursuant to Article 1
(commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1

reflect the increase. The revenue limit applicable to the county
superintendent of schools shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
