15700.  The Legislature hereby declares that it is in the interest of the state and of the people thereof for the state to aid school districts of the state in providing necessary and adequate school sites and buildings for the pupils of the public school system, the system being a matter of general concern inasmuch as the education of the children of the state is an obligation and function of the state.In adopting this act, the Legislature considers that the great need in school construction is for adequate classrooms for the education of the pupils of the public school system.

To the end that school classrooms may be made available at once and to all school districts in need of such classrooms, provisions for other needed school facilities is necessarily subordinated.(Repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2.

15704.  The board by the adoption of rules shall give priority in allocating funds to districts to those districts where the children will benefit most from additional schoolhouse facilities.

Expenditure of the proceeds of the sale of bonds shall not be counted but expenditure for interest and retirement of bonds shall be counted.(d) Not more than one point of priority shall be allowed for each calendar month that the completed application of the district has awaited funds.If any computation of priority points made under this section results in a fraction of a point, that fraction shall be disregarded and the number of priority points shall be taken as the next lowest whole number.These priorities shall be recomputed at least semiannually when funds are available for allocation, on the respective periods of time next preceding the date of computation.

15710.  Where a district is required by a contract entered into between itself and a general construction contractor to obtain, at its own expense, insurance covering risks incurred during any construction for which an apportionment has been made, the cost thereof may be paid directly to said district out of the Public School Building Loan Fund.It is the intent and purpose of this section to provide for reimbursement to school districts for any builders’ risk insurance that may have been furnished and paid for by the districts in connection with approved apportionments from the Public School Building Loan Fund from the time of the effective date of Chapter 1389 of the Statutes of 1949.The Legislature in adopting this section expressly recognizes that eligible school districts in making provision for builders’ risk insurance during the period of construction of new buildings has provided a saving for the taxpayers of the district, and also has reduced the amount which otherwise would have been paid out of the Public School Building Loan Fund to the district if the cost of the builders’ risk insurance had been borne by the contractor with the district.
