Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 1859.105 - Program Accountability Progress Audit

(a) When the district has received funds for a SFP project, the Board shall conduct a review to assure the district has made substantial progress in the completion of the project pursuant to Education Code Section 17076.10(b). The review shall consist of an analysis of the district's progress report in accordance with Section 1859.104(b). Sufficient evidence of substantial progress shall be any of the following:

(1) At least 75 percent of all site development work that is necessary prior to building construction activity is complete.

(2) At least 90 percent of the building construction activities are under contract, unless the building construction activities are delayed as a result of necessary site development work.

(3) All construction activities are at least 50 percent complete.

(4) Other evidence satisfactory to the Board of circumstances beyond the control of the district that precludes substantial progress being made.

(b) When the district has received funds pursuant to Section 1859.81.1(a), the Board shall conduct a review to assure the district has made substantial progress in the completion of the project. The audit shall consist of a review and analysis of the district's progress report in accordance with Section 1859.104(b). Acceptable evidence of substantial progress shall be when the district has completed all of the following:

(1) Obtained the final appraisal of the site; and,

(2) Completed all California Environmental Quality Act requirements; and,

(3) Obtained final approval of the site by the CDE; and,

(4) Provided final escrow instructions or evidence the district has filed condemnation proceedings and intends to request an order of possession of the site; or,

(5) Other evidence satisfactory to the Board detailing the reason(s) and circumstance(s) beyond the control of the district that precludes substantial progress being made. If the Board determines that substantial progress has been made pursuant to Education Code Section 17076.10(b), the Board shall condition its finding of substantial progress upon the district's commitment to complete and submit satisfactory evidence that the district meets the provisions of Section 1859.105(b)(1) through (b)(4) within a period not to exceed 18 months from the date of the Board's determination of substantial progress.

(c) When the district has received funds pursuant to Section 1859.81.1(e), the Board shall conduct a review to assure the district has made substantial progress in the completion of the project. Sufficient evidence of substantial progress shall be any of the following:

(1) An Approved New Construction or Modernization Adjusted Grant Application; or

(2) A school district certification that the final building plans for the project have been submitted to and accepted by the DSA for review and approval; or

(3) An approved separate site funding application pursuant to Section 1859.81.1(a) or an approved environmental hardship funding application pursuant to Section 1859.75.1 or an approved Preliminary Apportionment pursuant to Section 1859.140, that met the criteria of Section 1859.142(b); or

(4) Other evidence satisfactory to the Board detailing the reason(s) that plans have not been completed and accepted by the DSA. If the Board determines that substantial progress has been made pursuant to Education Code Section 17076.10(b), the Board shall condition its finding of substantial progress upon the district's commitment to complete and submit an Approved New Construction or Modernization Adjusted Grant Application within a period not to exceed 18 months from the date of the Board's determination of substantial progress.

After the Board has received the progress report required in Section 1859.104(b) for items (a), (b), and (c) above, a review and analysis of the report by the OPSC will be made for compliance with this Section within 60 days of the submittal of the report by the district. The OPSC must notify the district within 60 days of the submittal of the report if it intends to recommend to the Board that no substantial progress has been made on the project. If the OPSC does not respond to the district within 60 days of submittal of the report, the OPSC concurs with the district that substantial progress has been made.

Should the OPSC respond within 60 days of submittal of the progress report by the district that no substantial progress has been made or the district fails to submit the progress report within the timelines in Section 1859.104 (b) for items (a), (b), and (c) above or the district has not filed an Approved Application for funds received pursuant to Section 1859.81.1(b), the district must report the final expenditures on the project on the Form SAB 50-06, to the OPSC within 60 days of the OPSC notification.

After receipt of the expenditure report, the OPSC will recommend to the Board that a finding be made that no substantial progress on the project has been made and that the apportionment be reduced, after accounting for the district's matching share, by any funds not yet committed by a contract for the project and any interest earned on State funds for the project. The recommendation will be made at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. If the expenditure report is not received within the 60 day period, the OPSC will recommend that the apportionment be rescinded and any interest earned on State funds be returned to the State.

If the apportionment is reduced or rescinded as a result of a finding by the Board that no substantial progress has been made on the project, the pupils assigned to the project will be added to the district's baseline eligibility. If the apportionment was reduced, the adjustment to the baseline eligibility shall reflect any funding retained by the district based on the New Construction or Modernization Adjusted Grant funding provided for the project. The district may refile a new application for the project subject to district eligibility and priority funding at the time of resubmittal.
