Funding Options Report October 2016
Introduction
Proposition 51
Status of Available Bond Funds
The Livingston Union School District has a history of success in obtaining facility
funding from State and Federal funding programs. The District has successfully received approximately $14,317,746 since 1988. Given the District’s current
entitlement and Proposition 51, the $9 billion bond on the November 2016
ballot, the District is again poised to receive State funds to assist with its capital
program needs.
Proposition 51 is the Coalition for Adequate School Housing-sponsored $9
billion dollar Kindergarten through Community College bond initiative on the
November 2016 ballot. Proposition 51 includes $3 billion for New Construction,
$3 billion for Modernization, $500 million for Career Technical Education, $500
million for Charter and $2 billion for Community Colleges.
As of October 17, 2016, the status of School Facility Program (SFP) funds available by bond and program is as follows:
This report estimates that the Livingston Union School District may be eligible
to apply for up to $7,670,478 in State New Construction and Modernization
funding. Additionally, it provides a detailed summary of the District’s overall
State New Construction and Modernization eligibility entitlement and discusses
potential State and Federal programs that may be of benefit to the District.
The following charts illustrate the estimated New Construction and
Modernization bond authority from Proposition 51 that will remain after funding
projects currently awaiting review at the Office of Public School Construction
(OPSC).
In order to access the $7,670,478 in identified funds, the District will be subject
to various State legal and regulatory requirements, local financial match requirements, annual pre-qualifications, submittal deadlines and State-wide bond elections and bond sales. To access the full amount of identified funds, the District is
required to spend $6,350,102 in local dollars as part of their match requirement
ahead of submitting for State funding in order to complete the design and Division of the State Architect (DSA) and California Department of Education (CDE)
approvals; both of which are prerequisites to request State matching dollars

Districts that have submitted projects to the OPSC prior to the Proposition 51
authority being exhausted will be eligible to have their projects reviewed by the
OPSC and, if passed, funded from Proposition 51. Districts that do not have projects submitted prior to the Proposition 51 authority being exhausted will have
to continue to wait for additional funding to become available through another
future bond. Districts may submit Applications for Funding once project plans
have received DSA and CDE approval.
