French General Code of Local Authorities
In forceThe communes of Mayotte receive a special grant for the construction and equipment of schools.
The amount of this grant is set at €10,531,615 for 2014. The grant is indexed in subsequent years to the rate of change in the number of pupils enrolled in pre-elementary and elementary schools recorded between the penultimate year and the penultimate year preceding the year in which it is paid.
The appropriations from the grant are allocated each year by the State representative to the communes, public establishments for inter-communal cooperation or any legal entity under public law exercising competence relating to the construction and renovation of schools, in the form of subsidies, with a view to carrying out individualised investments relating to the construction or renovation of schools.
The subsidy must not have the effect of having the State take charge of all or part of the day-to-day running costs of the schools, such as staff remuneration costs, maintenance and supplies costs and miscellaneous running costs corresponding to the local authority's remit.
These subsidies must be notified in full during the first quarter of the calendar year.
A decree sets out the procedures for applying this article.
