Section 41329.57.
Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41329.57.
in effect(a)
(1)
Pursuant to a schedule provided to the Controller by the bank, the Controller shall transfer from Section A of the State School Fund and the Education Protection Account the amount of funds necessary to pay the warrants issued pursuant to paragraph (2) so that the effective cost of the lease financing provided to the Oakland Unified School District, the Vallejo City Unified School District, and the West Contra Costa Unified School District pursuant to this article shall be equal to the cost of the original General Fund emergency loan made to each school district.
(A)
For purposes of determining the cost of the original emergency loan for the West
Contra Costa Unified School District, the original interest rate is the rate established pursuant to Section 41474 of 1.532 percent.
(B)
For purposes of determining the cost of the original emergency loan for the Oakland Unified School District, the original interest rate is 1.778 percent. This rate shall also apply to any disbursements of the loan pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Statutes of 2003 that are subsequent to August 23, 2004.
(C)
For purposes of determining the cost of the original emergency loan for the Vallejo City Unified School District, the original interest rate is 1.5 percent. This rate shall also apply to any disbursements of the loan pursuant to Chapter 53 of the Statutes of 2004 that are subsequent to August 23, 2004.
(2)
The executive director or chair of the bank shall periodically provide a
schedule to the Controller and each school district of the actual amount of the difference between the cost of the lease financing compared to the cost of the original emergency loan for each school district for each year and the Controller shall issue warrants to each school district pursuant to the schedule. Payments to a school district shall occur only during the term of the loan for that district and shall be made no sooner than the corresponding payments are made to the bond trustee under the lease financing for that district.
(3)
For purposes of making the computations required by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the warrants issued pursuant to paragraph (2) are “General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts,” as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 41202 for the fiscal years in which the warrants are issued and included within the “total allocations to school districts and community college districts
from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B,” as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 41202, for the fiscal years in which the warrants are issued.
(b)
It is the intent of the Legislature that the financing cost subsidies funded in this section not be deemed precedent nor in conflict with Section 41329.53, as these school districts requested loans before the enactment of this article.
