SB 5853: School construction

Regarding the school construction assistance program.

Summary

  • Makes phased changes to the Student Space Allocation (SSA) and the Funding Assistance Percentage (FAP), two of the funding formula components of the School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP), beginning July 1, 2019, and ending June 30, 2024.
  • Adds 5 percent to the FAP for schools listed on historic registers.
  • Limits bond appropriations for the SCAP to no more than thirty percent of total state general obligation bond appropriations by reducing the Construction Cost Allocation (CCA) funding formula component in the omnibus capital appropriations act.
  • Requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop a plan to implement further improvements in funding school construction, including a preservation and renewal program to replace modernization grant awards in the SCAP, and submit the plan to the Governor and the Legislature by June 30, 2022.
