Public postsecondary education: joint-use facilities.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, which are administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law provides that a community college district may enter into a lease or agreement with a city, county, or city and county for the joint occupancy, or a private education institution for its sole occupancy, of the real property and buildings of the district, as specified. Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, establishes a program for allocation by the State Allocation Board of state per-pupil funding to school districts for new construction and modernization of school facilities, including joint use-projects to construct facilities on kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, schoolsites. This bill would authorize a school district to enter into a joint use project with a community college district, as specified. This bill would require the board of governors, upon funding being made available, to establish and govern the California Community College Joint Use Program, to support the creation of joint use facilities on community college campuses. The program would be required to be in alignment with established facilities regulations and exclusively for the creation of new or renovated facilities governed by a joint use agreement between a community college governing body and a 3rd-party public agency, as specified.
