What are Section 15 grants?
Grants were authorized under the Educational Facilities Construction and Financing Act of 2000, and provided additional funding in legislation enacted on July 9, 2008. School districts generally received 40 percent of eligible project costs. School districts must finance the balance of the cost of their facilities project. To be eligible for funding, a school project needs to meet the Facilities Efficiency Standards (a guideline for space allowance) as well as have elements deemed necessary for a thorough and efficient education by DOE. Grants are paid out as districts attain specific project milestones.
