2005 California Education Code Sections 16230-16235 Seasonal Agricultural Employment

16230.  Not to exceed one million five hundred thousand dollars
($1,500,000) of the amount of the proceeds of bonds issued under the
State School Building Aid Bond Law of 1966 which are reserved
pursuant to Section 17214, as enacted by Section 2 of Chapter 1010 of
the Statutes of 1976, may be expended pursuant to this article.
   Nothing in this article shall be construed to sanction, perpetuate
or promote the racial or ethnic segregation, or the segregation by
economic class, of pupils in the public schools.
   The funds shall be expended by the State Allocation Board, for the
acquisition of portable school and classroom buildings, and for the
expenses incurred in the administration of this article.
   The portable school and classroom buildings may be made available
by the board, upon the recommendation of the Director of Compensatory
Education, to any school district which, because of the influx for
temporary periods in the school year of large numbers of persons
employed in seasonal agricultural work, experiences emergency
increases in school enrollments of such magnitude as to make it
impossible or impractical to accommodate the additional pupils in
existing school buildings and facilities available to the district.
16231.  The portable school and classroom buildings acquired
pursuant to this article shall be made available to a school district
irrespective of whether the district is otherwise in receipt of or
eligible for assistance under any other provisions of this chapter.
   The use of the portable school and classroom buildings may be made
available to a school district by letting the same to the district
free of charge, or by lease, or by conveying the same to the district
under lease-purchase agreement, sale, or outright grant, as
determined by the State Allocation Board upon consultation with, and
the advice of, the Director of Compensatory Education.  In addition
the use of the portable school and classroom buildings may be made
available to a school district by any of the means specified by
Section 16041, as determined by the State Allocation Board upon
consultation with, and the advice of, the Director of Compensatory
Education.
16232.  The use of the portable school and classroom buildings under
this article shall be based upon application therefor submitted by
the governing board of the school district to the Director of
Compensatory Education, who shall review the same, make any
modifications he or she deems appropriate, and transmit the approved
application to the State Allocation Board with his or her
recommendations as to the action to be taken thereon.
16233.  If at any time the State Allocation Board shall determine
that the need of the district for particular portable buildings which
are made available to the district pursuant to this article has
ceased, the board may take possession of the buildings on behalf of
the state, and may dispose of the buildings to public or private
parties in any manner and under any terms that it deems to be in the
best interests of the state.
16234.  Sections 16000 to 16006, inclusive, Sections 16009, 16018,
and 16021, and Sections 16091 to 16100, inclusive, shall be
applicable to the administration of this article, unless the context
of this article, as determined by the board, requires otherwise.
16235.  All moneys received from the rental, lease, or sale of
portable school and classroom buildings pursuant to this article
shall be deposited in the State Treasury and, on order of the
Controller, shall be credited to and in augmentation of the
appropriation made by Section 16230.
   All moneys shall be available without regard to fiscal years for
repairing, renovating, installing, moving, or maintaining the
buildings or for acquiring additional portable school and classroom
buildings for the purposes of this article.
