SECTION 16570-16577

16570. Each school district to which an apportionment is made under
this chapter shall repay the principal amount of the apportionment
in the manner prescribed by this article.

16571. For purposes of computing the repayment, the state project
shall be deemed completed on June 30th of the fiscal year in which
the state project is completed and accepted by the state.

16572. The principal amount of the apportionment shall be computed
and repaid in the manner prescribed in this article.
(a) On or before the first day of January succeeding the
completion of the state project, the Controller shall compute the
annual repayment of each apportionment for each grade level
maintained by the district, as follows:
(1) He or she shall determine from the certification of the
director the total amount of average daily attendance of project
children, and the total amount of average daily attendance of
indirect project children, in attendance in the grade level
maintained by the district for the period commencing with the date of
the proclamation of the Governor proclaiming the existence of a
state project in the area including the district and ending on June
30th of the fiscal year in which the state project is completed.
(2) He or she shall divide the average daily attendance of the
project children by 30 and multiply the quotient by the amount
determined by the board pursuant to Section 16543 as the average per
pupil cost of construction in the area of the state project.
(3) He or she shall multiply the average daily attendance of the
indirect project children by 55 percent. The product shall be divided
by 30 and the quotient multiplied by the amount determined by the
board pursuant to Section 16543 as the average per pupil cost of
construction in the area of the state project.
(4) The total of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs (2)
and (3) shall be subtracted from the amount of the apportionment to
the district. The remainder shall be divided by 30 and the quotient
shall constitute the amount of the annual repayment of the
apportionment.
(5) Upon application of the district and approval by the board,
the total amount of the repayment may be paid in a lump sum or in
fewer than 30 years.

16573. If on June 30th of the fiscal year in which the state
project is completed there is classroom space constructed with funds
apportioned under this chapter, that is not being used by the
district, the board shall, upon application of the district, reduce
the total amount to be repaid by the district on a proportionate
basis until the time that the classroom space is used by the
district. No payment shall be required by the district for the period
during which the classroom space is not used by the district.

16574. The Controller shall, during the fiscal year in which he or
she determines the annual repayment as provided in Section 16572, and
for each subsequent fiscal year not exceeding 30, deduct the total
amount of the annual repayment of each district in equal amounts from
each of the February, March, April, and May installments of the
apportionments made to the district from the State School Fund under
Sections 46304, 46305, and 92 or 41050, Sections 41330 to 41343,
inclusive, and Sections 41600 to 41972, inclusive, and, on order of
the Controller, the amount so deducted shall be transferred to the
General Fund of the state.

16575. Upon computing in any fiscal year the amount to be deducted
from the apportionments to the district from the State School Fund
during the fiscal year, the Controller shall notify the governing
board of the district and the county auditor of the county, the
county superintendent of which has jurisdiction over the district, of
the amount to be deducted.

16576. The board of supervisors of the county, the county
superintendent of which has jurisdiction over any district which
under this chapter will have moneys withheld by the Controller from
the apportionments to be made to it from the State School Fund during
any fiscal year, shall annually at the time the board of supervisors
makes the next levy of taxes for county purposes, levy a tax upon
the property in the district sufficient to raise for the district the
amount of money withheld by the Controller during the fiscal year
preceding that in which the tax is levied. The tax, when collected,
shall be paid into the county treasury of the county, the county
superintendent of schools of which has jurisdiction over the district
for which the tax was levied, to the credit of the general fund of
the district.

16577. Notwithstanding Section 16572 to the contrary, if on or
before June 30th of the fiscal year in which the state project is
completed the district has received a final apportionment under
Sections 16000 to 16207, inclusive, or if at any time thereafter the
district receives a final apportionment under Sections 16000 to
16207, inclusive, the amount of the apportionment to the district
under this chapter then remaining unpaid shall, upon request of the
district, be added to the principal amount of the apportionment made
to the district under Sections 16000 to 16207, inclusive. Thereupon
the apportionment made to the district under this chapter shall be
deemed to be an apportionment made to the district under Sections
16000 to 16207, inclusive, and subject to repayment in the manner
therein prescribed, except that no interest shall be charged or
collected upon the amount which is added to the principal amount of
the apportionment made to the district under Sections 16000 to 16207,
inclusive. For the purposes of Section 16083, any amount added to
the principal amount of an apportionment pursuant to this section
shall be deemed to have become final and disbursed to the district on
the date the state project is deemed completed pursuant to Section
16571.
