Funding Options Report October 2016
New Construction
Modernization
New Construction funding may be used to purchase and/or build new schools or classrooms for eligible K-12 students.
Eligibility for funding is based on enrollment projections and seating capacity in the Distr ict. The District must provide an
equal match to the State’s contribution to the projects.
SFP Modernization program funding may be used for the renovation and/or replacement of existing buildings. This funding may not be used to increase the capacity at a site. Modernization eligibility is site-specific and is generated by permanent buildings over 25 years of age and portable buildings over 20 years of age. The District must provide a match equal to
40% of the total State estimated project cost.
For New Construction, the SFP requires a district to select one enrollment projection model (per High School Attendance
Area) from a list of approved methodologies. The table below utilizes the highest enrollment projection for the purpose of
determining the District’s New Construction eligibility.
The District’s 2015/16 New Construction eligibility update has been prepared for review by the District. Since New Construction eligibility is only valid until October 31 of each year, it must be recalculated annually. The eligibility estimate
included in this report will remain valid through October 2016.
The eligibility figures below do not include augmentations such as site acquisition or site development. The District may
apply for funding after receiving CDE and DSA approval of the project plans containing new classroom capacity. Please
note this New Construction eligibility includes a drawdown for projects already approved by the State Allocation Board
(SAB) or submitted and pending action.
Currently, the District has modernization eligibility totaling approximately $3,961,128 in base grant State funding that may
be requested as soon as project plans receive DSA and CDE approval. The District would be required to provide a match of
$2,640,752 to access this funding. The dollar amounts reflect an augmentation for permanent fifty year old and older buildings where applicable. However, the amount does not include other augmentations for which the District may be eligible.
For example, schools with permanent facilities over fifty years old may qualify for additional augmentations for utility work.
Please note, this Modernization eligibility includes a drawdown for projects already approved by the SAB. The following
table shows the District’s 2015/16 Modernization eligibility by site.
Proposition 51 will provide $3 billion in Modernization funding.
