Resolution 12.13-24[1].pdf
Summary: The District still enjoys some 'Modernization'and 'New Construction' eligibility under the State Facility Program (SFP)remaining at several sites.The District has several completed projects that it will be submitting to the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) in an effort to capture available funding (grants)for these projects.On November 1, 2012 the Office of Administrative Law approved emergency regulations that impact the manner in which the Office of Public School Construction will process 'New Construction' and 'Modernization' applications received after existing bond authority becomes unavailable. These regulations establish a State Allocation Board (SAB) acknowledged list for projects that are received by the OPSC after bond authority is exhausted. The new list is called the "Applications Received Beyond Bond Authority List". Applications placed on this list will only undergo an intake review to ensure all of the required documents have been submitted, but will not be fully processed by the OPSC nor presented to the SAB for approval.

All 'New Construction' and 'Modernization' applications received on or after November 1, 2012 are subject to the new regulations and processing procedures as approved by the SAB. These new regulations require that all such applications must include a Board resolution formally acknowledging 1) that the State Facility Program bond authority is exhausted; 2)that the State does not guarantee future funding of the Program; 3)that any future funds may or may not be available for the application(s) being submitted; 4)that eligibility criteria for funding may or may not change in the future; and 5)that any pre-construction or construction activities are made at the District's discretion absent any State responsibility for funding.
