Below is some basic information about the Funding Application process.
State funds may be available to help your district offset its project construction costs.
Before applying for funding, your district must have:
- Determined your need to build a new school or modernize existing school facilities
- Decided to apply for State funds to help offset the project costs
- Obtained approved financial hardship status if your district is applying for financial hardship assistance
- Completed the Site Approval process and received a final site approval letter from the SFPD
- Completed the Plan Approval process and received:
- Used a competitive selection process to obtain all professional design and other services used on the project thus far. If your district cannot show that such a competitive process was used, its entire project will be ineligible for State funding.
No one. Your district should be able to complete the Funding Application process without the need to hire outside consultants.
Your school district needs to apply for funding if it wants to receive State funds to help offset the costs of its school construction project.
The State Allocation Board (SAB) administers and allocates funds available to eligible school districts pursuant to Proposition 1A and the School Facility Program (SFP).
In most cases, your district's project application can be reviewed, the appropriate grant(s) calculated, and SAB approval received within ninety days or less, regardless of project size.
