The Superintendent shall ensure each county’s compliance with Section 8260 by not issuing funds to a local preschool contractor within a county until the Superintendent has received written certification from that county that the level of expenditure for childcare services provided by the county has
been maintained at the 1970–71 fiscal year level pursuant to Section
8260.
Funding provided by a county to a local preschool contractor shall not adversely affect the reimbursement received by the agency from the Superintendent pursuant to Section 8242 or 8244.
