Cal. Code Regs. tit. 21 § 45
Upon written request by the governing board of any school district or by at least 10 percent of the parents having pupils enrolled in any school district as certified to by the county superintendent of schools, the Office of the State Architect shall make an examination and report on the structural condition of any school building of the district. Whether or not such examination is requested of the office is entirely optional with the district or parents concerned, and consequently, in making such examination and report the office acts as the agent of the school district to whom the office makes its report and by whom it is guided in determining the extent and character of the examination made.
Upon receipt of request for examination the department shall furnish an application, blank, Form 2, which shall be filled out by the applicant, supplying such information as is available. (See facsimile of Form 2 in the appendix.)
The office is not authorized to prepare plans or make estimates of the cost necessary to make such repairs to the building or buildings as are necessary to meet structural safety standards. (See Sections 39212 and 81162 of the Education Code.)
Upon completion of the examination and the submission of the report thereof to the school board, the office shall submit a statement of the actual expense involved in the examination and preparation of report. Payment by the school board shall be made to the office upon receipt of the statement of expense involved unless waived by the Office upon recommendation of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
