State Schools Chief Jack O'Connell Announces Millions in Assistance to Build and Improve School Facilities

SACRAMENTO — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell today announced the State Allocation Board (SAB) approved $234 million for the construction, modernization, and repair of school facilities around the state. The list of schools funded is attached.

"Even though our student population is leveling off, the need for new and improved schools remains great because of the age of our facilities," said O'Connell. "In the next five years, we need to build 16 new classrooms and modernize another 21 each day in order to provide safe and secure learning environments for our students."

O'Connell is a member of the SAB that awarded more than $202 million to 79 schools and county offices of education for the construction and modernization of schools. The board also approved more than $21 million in Joint-Use funds for 15 school districts throughout California. O'Connell has long supported the cooperative efforts of school districts and their communities in providing gyms, libraries, and other facilities that can be used by both students and members of the community. Also, nearly $11 million in Emergency Repair Funds was awarded to help pay for emergency repairs at schools statewide.

The SAB is responsible for determining the allocation of state resources, such as proceeds from General Obligation Bond issues and other designated State funds used for the new construction and modernization of local public school facilities. The SAB is also charged with the responsibility for the administration of the School Facility Program, the Charter School Facilities Program, the Overcrowded Relief Grant Program, the Critically Overcrowded School Facilities Program, the School Facility Joint-Use Program, Career Technical Education Facilities Program, the Emergency Repair Program and the Deferred Maintenance Program.

The SAB is the policy-level body for the programs administered by the Office of Public School Construction. The SAB meets monthly to apportion funds to school districts, act on appeals, and adopt policies and regulations as they pertain to the programs administered by the SAB.
