(b) For 50 percent of any insurance proceeds collectable by the district for displaced facilities and 50 percent of the net proceeds available from the disposition of displaced facilities pursuant to Section 1859.82(a) or (b).
When the OPSC receives the final expenditure report from the district on Form SAB 50-06, an audit of the expenditures by the OPSC shall commence within two years of the report. If the district is not notified by the OPSC within the two-year period that an audit will be made, there will be no audit of the project by the OPSC and the expenditures reported by the district shall be deemed appropriate. If the district has been notified that an audit of the expenditures will be made by the OPSC, the OPSC shall complete the audit within six months of the notification, unless additional information requested from the district has not been received.
Districts shall be required to maintain all appropriate records that support all district certifications and expenditures for all costs associated with SFP, Charter School, and Joint-Use projects for a period of not less than four years from the date the notice of completion is filed for the project in order to allow other agencies, including, without limitation, the Bureau of State Audits and the State Controller to perform their audit responsibilities.
The district is responsible to substantiate expenditures from the Joint-Use Partner(s) financial contribution pursuant to Section 1859.127 and from other local sources.
Should the OPSC conduct an audit of the district certifications or the expenditures for the project and make a finding that some or all of the expenditures were not made in accordance with the provisions of Education Code Section 17072.35 for new construction projects, Section 1859.120 for Joint-Use Projects, Section 1859.140 for Critically Overcrowded School projects, Section 1859.160 for Charter School projects, Education Code Section 17074.25 and Section 1859.79.2 for modernization projects, and Education Code Sections 17072.13 and 17072.14 for projects with additional costs imposed by the DTSC, the OPSC shall recommend to the Board that the apportionment be adjusted based on the audit findings.
Should the CDE make a finding that a project did not meet the standards that were adopted by the CDE pursuant to Education Code Section 17251(b) and (c) when the district had self-certified that the project met those standards pursuant to Education Code Section 17070.50(b), the Board may request that the CDE make a recommendation that the apportionment for the project be adjusted based on the CDE finding. Any adjustment in the apportionment shall be based on the percentage of space in the project that the CDE determined did not meet those standards.
If title to special education program facilities is transferred between a school district and a county office of education pursuant to Education Code Sections 17071.75(b)(2) and (f), the receiving School District shall remit payment to the State within 60 days or up to five years, pursuant to an approved repayment schedule, as requested by the School District. If a repayment schedule is requested, it shall be in equal installments and shall include interest at the same rate as that earned on the State's Pooled Money Investment Account on the date a repayment schedule is approved by the Board. The repayment amount shall be determined by prorating the Financial Hardship assistance received on the initial Apportionment for the transferred facilities, including site acquisition costs apportioned for any land transferred, by the percentage of building area being transferred divided by the total amount of building area approved on the initial Application containing the transfer of facilities, if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) The transferred facilities were constructed with State funds under Chapter 12.5.
(b) Transfer of the facilities took place within ten years of initial occupancy.
(c) The School District that initially acquired or constructed the transferred facilities had approved Financial Hardship status at the time of Apportionment of the project.
(d) The School District receiving the facility did not have approved Financial Hardship status at either the time of the title transfer or the time that the adjustment request is submitted to the OPSC.
