Coalition for Adequate School Housing v. State All
This case is about how school bonds are ultimately funded. According to the plaintiffs, the Coalition for Adequate School Housing and a number of school districts (collectively the Coalition), the defendant, the State Allocation Board (the Board) is required by statute to apply an inflation adjustment at the time there are funds ready to disburse to an approved project. The Board, the plaintiffs argue, has no authority to exercise discretion as to whether to apply an inflation adjustment. The Board disagrees, contending that regulations give it that discretion.
The trial court made numerous findings after considering the Coalition’s petition for a writ of mandate (Code Civ. Proc., § 1085), which sought reversal of the Board’s decision. The court found the Board did not have a duty to include inflation adjustments in the funds disbursed to an approved project.
