(1) There is hereby established in the state treasury the full-day kindergarten facility capital construction fund, referred to in this part 2 as the "fund". The fund shall consist of any moneys annually appropriated thereto by the general assembly for the purposes of this part 2. All interest and income earned on the deposit of moneys in the fund shall be credited to the fund. Any unexpended and unencumbered moneys remaining in the fund at the end of a budget year shall remain in the fund and shall not be credited or transferred to the general fund or any other fund.

(2) The public school capital construction assistance board shall use the moneys in the fund to provide grants or matching grants to any school district or institute charter school that is undertaking a capital construction project to renovate a facility, rent a facility, or provide a temporary auxiliary facility that will be used in conjunction with providing a full-day kindergarten program. The board shall award a grant or matching grant pursuant to this part 2 to a school district or institute charter school only if, without the grant or matching grant, the school district or institute charter school would be unable to provide a facility in which to offer a full day of kindergarten to more students than were offered a full day of kindergarten in the 2007-08 budget year. For purposes of this part 2, "temporary auxiliary facility" means a temporary building that will be placed on the same campus as a main educational facility.

(3) Each budget year, the board shall use fifty percent of the moneys in the fund to provide grants pursuant to this part 2 and fifty percent of the moneys in the fund to provide matching grants pursuant to this part 2.
