[Busmgrs] Facility Grant Due February 15, 2017

[KREIN Adam - ODE]

Hello and Happy Holidays!

The Facility Grant is now open for districts to apply. I have attached the application and instructions or you can click on the link below to access.

To those of you who are new like me this sub grant helps school districts stand up a new school building or classroom space by furnishing them with necessary equipment and supplies.

The grant has several requirements that must be met before you can consider an application.

1)      The building or classroom must be new. The space cannot have been used as a classroom in the past five years. As for auxiliary spaces, such as gyms and cafeterias, they cannot be the basis for a Facility Grant application. Libraries, however, can be. The only exception is a new school building may include all costs.

2)      Only construction costs can be included in the application. This excludes any land acquisition costs or costs of equipment not intrinsic to the building. Project management costs and other site improvement costs can be included. Additionally, any project costs not associated with construction such as, fund raising costs, loan costs, bond costs, should be excluded.

3)      Finally, capital construction costs cannot be paid with Facility Grant funds.
