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.
