French General Code of Local Authorities
In forceIn 2008, the amount of the departmental equipment grant for collèges is set at 328,666,225 euros.
The amount allocated in 2008 to each department exercising the powers defined in article L. 213-2 of the Education Code is obtained by applying a coefficient to the total amount of the departmental equipment grant for collèges set for that same year. This coefficient is calculated for each département on the basis of the ratio between the updated average of the payment appropriations paid to it from 1998 to 2007 and the updated average of the payment appropriations paid by the State to all the départements for the departmental equipment grant for collèges during these same years.
From 2009, the amount allocated to each département is equal to that for 2008.
The departmental equipment grant for collèges is paid to the departments in a single instalment during the third quarter of the current year.
The grant is entered in the budget of each department, which allocates it to reconstruction, major repairs, equipment and, if these operations are on the list drawn up pursuant to article L. 211-2 of the Education Code, to the extension and construction of collèges.
