administers the K-12 Capital Budget and the School Construction Assistance Program. The office administers grants to school districts for new construction, modernization and small repair, and supports school district organization and school facility management.
The School Construction Assistance Program:
- Assists local school districts with their school plant facilities. Money is not directly appropriated to the school districts. They must apply to OSPI for the funding.
- Provides funding assistance for facility planning and for school construction and renovations. Assistance is based on equalization ratios. The Legislature authorized creation of a priority system when requests for state assistance are greater than available state funds. A complete description of the program is provided in the
School Facilities Manual.
In an effort to make the school construction assistance program more transparent and accessible to all school districts in the state, new communication materials have been developed:
- Annual Report - Highlights
the school construction program accomplishments, the state and local
contributions to construction funding, and major initiatives and
studies.
- Program Folio
- Explains the roles played by the state, school districts and voters in
funding school construction projects.
- Summary Program Handbook
- Provides an overview of the school construction process and references
specific Manual chapters.
-
PowerPoint
- A series of slides school districts can use or modify to explain the construction assistance program to constituents.
