§ 178.520. Vocational education fund — how obtained when no state appropriation is made.
Whenever the general assembly makes no other appropriation for carrying out the provisions of sections 178.420 to 178.580 or makes an appropriation which is not sufficient to entitle this state to all the federal moneys which may be allotted to it, the school board of any school district in this state, the board of regents of any state college or state teachers college, and the board of curators of the university may make the appropriations from any funds under their control that are necessary to enable the school district, state college, state teachers college or university to take advantage of the provisions of sections 178.420 to 178.580. When the appropriation has been made, a warrant shall be drawn in favor of the treasurer of the state of Missouri for the amount. The moneys so received from the various school districts, state colleges, state teachers colleges and state university shall be placed by the state treasurer into a special fund to be known as the "Vocational Education Fund", and shall be the "state money" referred to in sections 178.420 to 178.580. The state board of education shall pay back to any school district, state college, state teachers college, or university, out of the vocational education fund:
(1) Any surplus money paid into the fund by it and which shall not be needed to secure for it the benefits of this law, and
(2) All money paid by it, if it fails to meet prescribed conditions and is therefore unable to participate in the distribution of federal moneys under sections 178.420 to 178.580.
