Until 31 December 1999, the share of expenditure borne by the local authorities or their groupings for the construction of collèges and their sports teaching annexes is shared between the communes and their groupings.
In the absence of an agreement between these communities or the formation of an inter-communal syndicate, a decree sets the rules according to which this expenditure is to be apportioned between them.
For this apportionment, account is taken in particular of the resources of the communes and groupings concerned and their school population attending the establishments in question.
