  SECTION 1.  Section 17077.40 of the Education Code is amended to
read:

article, the board may provide a grant to fund joint-use projects to
construct facilities on kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive,
schoolsites  , or community college campuses  .
   (b) A school district  or community college district  may
apply to the board for funding under this article for a project that
meets any of the following criteria:
   (1) The joint-use project is part of an application for new
construction funding under this chapter, and will increase the size
or extra cost associated with the joint use of the proposed
multipurpose room, gymnasium, child care facility, library, or
teacher education facility beyond that necessary for school use.
   (2) The joint-use project proposes to either reconfigure existing
school buildings or construct new school buildings, or both, to
provide for a multipurpose room, a gymnasium, a library, a child care
facility, or a teacher education facility and the project will be
located at a school that does not have the type of facility for which
funds are requested or the existing facility is inadequate.
   (3) The joint-use project proposes to either reconfigure existing
school buildings or construct new school buildings, or both, to
provide for facilities to improve pupil academic achievement, and the
plans for the facility were accepted for review and approval by the
department prior to January 1, 2004. 
   (c) The board shall consult with the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges with respect to the application of this
section to the California Community Colleges.
