EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 1830-1836




1830.  (a) The county superintendent of schools may, with the
approval of the county board of education, establish, conduct, and
maintain facilities, for use in the elementary and secondary schools
of the school districts under his jurisdiction that elect to
participate in the use of the facilities, which provide for audio and
visual curriculum materials, including the necessary salaries,
supplies, materials, apparatus, and equipment and other necessary
expenses.
   (b) The county superintendent of schools shall, with the approval
of the county board of education, enter into an agreement with the
governing board of any school district or community college district
electing to participate which shall provide for payment by the
district for the use of audiovisual facilities. The county
superintendent of schools shall, with the approval of the county
board of education, prescribe the method for determining the amount
to be paid for the use of the facilities, but in no event shall the
total payments made to the county superintendent of schools of any
county by the districts of that county be less than one-half of an
amount equal to the total cost of the use of the facilities provided
to the districts electing to participate, less any restricted
remaining balance and any amount received by the county
superintendent of schools under the provisions of the National
Defense Education Act of 1958 (Public Law 864, Eighty-fifth Congress)
or under any similar provisions of any other act of Congress, except
that the Superintendent of Public Instruction may provide county
school service fund money in addition to the established ratio of
support in those counties in which he determines that sparsity of
population increases operational costs.
   (c) Films and filmstrips shall be adopted by the county board of
education before they are purchased by the county superintendent of
schools.


1831.  The services described in Section 1830, except clerical,
accounting, and stenographic services, shall be performed by persons
who hold a valid credential issued by the State Board of Education or
Commission on Teacher Credentialing of one or more of the types
specified in Section 1704 or who meets the minimum qualifications for
hire as a community college faculty member as established by the
Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges or who is
otherwise eligible for service as a faculty member of a community
college district.
   Any person who is employed in the office of a county
superintendent of schools on the effective date of this section and
is performing any of the services described in this article may
continue to perform those services without possessing the credential
otherwise required as long as he or she remains continuously employed
in his or her position.



1832.  The county superintendent of schools may, with the approval
of the county board of education, enter into an agreement with the
state, the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, any political
subdivision, or any agency of the state or of any political
subdivision, to conduct and maintain distribution among schools of
districts under the jurisdiction of the county superintendent of
schools, under such conditions as are agreed upon, of audio and
visual instruction materials and apparatus approved by the
constituted educational authorities. The state, any political
subdivision, or any agency of the state or of any political
subdivision may enter into any agreement with a county superintendent
of schools authorized by this article.



1833.  The agreement may, among other matters, provide for the
payment by the county superintendent of schools, at such times as are
agreed upon, from the county school service fund to the state,
political subdivision, or agency, of money for the distribution of
materials and apparatus among the schools under his jurisdiction. All
money transferred shall be used by the authorities of the state,
political subdivision, or agency solely for the acquisition of audio
and visual materials and apparatus as may be designated by the
constituted educational authorities and for the care and distribution
to schools of the county of the materials and apparatus.




1834.  The county superintendent of schools and the state or any
political subdivision, or any agency of the state or of any political
subdivision, may acquire materials and apparatus for distribution
pursuant to this article, by purchase, rental, lease, loan, or
donation, if the materials and apparatus have been adopted as
required by law.



1835.  The governing board of any school district may contract with
the county superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over the
district, with the state, any political subdivision, or any agency of
the state or of any political subdivision, for the rendering to the
schools of the district of any service authorized by this article,
and may pay for the service out of any funds of the district.
   All funds paid by a school district to a county superintendent of
schools for services rendered to the schools of the district shall be
deposited in the county school service fund.



1836.  The governing board of any school district, or the county
superintendent of schools acting with its permission and on behalf of
such a board, or boards, may enter into contracts, either alone or
in cooperation with other districts, for the purpose of participating
in or the procuring of television broadcasts for use in the
educational program of the schools.
   The governing board of any school district, or the county
superintendent of schools, either alone or in cooperation with other
districts or other county superintendents of schools, or with
nonprofit corporations operating educational television stations as
defined in Section 225.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, may
purchase broadcast time over, and may own, lease, and operate,
television transmitting facilities for use in providing instructional
services, teachers' in-service educational services, which the
governing board or the county superintendent of schools is otherwise
authorized to provide, and may provide necessary services in
connection therewith. The governing board of a school district or the
county superintendent of schools, or a nonprofit corporation with a
district or with a county superintendent of schools, which is the
owner or lessee of television transmitting facilities may sell
broadcast time, on a reimbursement basis, to any other school
districts or county superintendent of schools for instructional
services and teachers' in-service educational services upon such
terms as are mutually agreed upon.
   The governing board of a school district and a county
superintendent of schools may accept grants-in-aid from any public or
private source in carrying out the purposes of this section.
   When television transmitting facilities owned, leased or operated
by the governing board of a school district or county superintendent
of schools, either alone or in cooperation with other districts or
other county superintendents of schools pursuant to this section or a
nonprofit corporation operating an educational television station,
are not in use for providing instructional services or teachers'
in-service educational services, such facilities may be used for
transmitting community educational television programs if such use
does not require the expenditure of any additional public funds of a
school district or a county superintendent of schools.
   For purposes of this section, the term "school district" shall
include any school district library district formed under the
provisions of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 18300) of Part 11 of
this division.
