[Busmgrs] 2019 TAP Grant Awards Announced

[ELLIOTT Michael S - ODE]

Dear Districts,

I am pleased to let everyone know that the 2019 TAP Grant recipients have been determined. Please see the attached for a list of every district that received a TAP grant and the type of TAP grant they received. Several districts were able to receive multiple grants. We will be posting this list to our website once we ensure that the list will be accessible for all to view.

Due to cost savings from the previous programs and the fact that we did not distribute as many grants in 2018, we were able to provide $2,925,000 in grants for 2019. Unfortunately this was not enough to provide every applicant with a grant. Per program rules, we funded grants based on preference points. We were able to fund all districts that had 2 or more preference points in 2019. This resulted in 122 grants being awarded this year.

For those districts that did not apply or were unable to receive a grant, I look forward to receiving your applications between January 15, and February 15, 2020 for the 2020 TAP grant application cycle. Also if a district starts an assessment in 2019, the district may use the costs of that work as a basis for a 2020 TAP Grant application. The assessment work must comply with all applicable administrative rules.

Thank you to everyone who continues to work with this program. It is great to be able to award so many grants and continue to help districts provide healthy safe and warm facilities for Oregon's school children.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either myself at Michael.s.elliott at state.or.us<mailto:Michael.s.elliott at state.or.us> or Leanna Heiman at Leanna.heiman at state.or.us<mailto:Leanna.heiman at state.or.us>.

Thank you,
Michael
