Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 44, November 1, 2024
Section 30 - Time of Beginning Construction and Partial Construction

Construction work whether for a new school building, reconstruction, alteration, or addition, shall not be commenced, and no contract shall be let until the school board has applied for and obtained from the office written approval of plans and specifications. Construction of all work shown in the approved plans and specifications shall be commenced within one year after the approval of the application, otherwise the approval of the part not commenced shall be void. The office may require that the plans and specifications be revised to meet its current regulations before a renewal of the voided approval is granted. Renewal shall not be granted after a period of four years beyond the date of the application approval.

The school board may complete all work or proceed with the construction of any part of the work included in the approved plans and specifications with the intent of completing the work later. All work done and materials used and installed must be in accordance with and in conformity to the approved plans and specifications. The office shall be notified whenever work is being carried on and failure to give such notice automatically voids approval of the plans and specifications.

An uncompleted building shall not be considered as having been constructed under the provisions of Article 3 or 7 commencing with Sections 39140 and 81130 of the Education Code, respectively. Section 39227 of the Education Code restricts the use of such a building.
