School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) First established in 1947 as the basic state aid program for “State assistance to school districts in providing school plant facilities” WA State’s largest capital grant program OSPI creates program rules and contributes funding, training, and technical assistance in facility planning, construction, and contracting Operates as a partnership between local school districts and the state to fund construction of new schools and modernize existing facilities School districts have the primary responsibility for school construction funding, and as the facility owner, are responsible for overseeing all phases of the project

OSPI’s 2019–21 Capital Budget Priorities Reality: Equity of Access Washington does not have a standardized model for funding school construction in an equitable way. This means not all students learn in buildings that are safe, enhance their health and well-being, or meet the needs of today’s students and educators.

OSPI’s 2019–21 Capital Budget Priorities Goal: Equity of Access Every student should have the opportunity to learn in a facility that: Supports their health and safety Provides the best educational outcomes …. Regardless of a school district’s ability or inability to raise capital project funds

Enrollment Projections (Report 1049)

SCAP Eligibility Calculation Projected Enrollments x Student Space Allocation = NEED of SPACE (sf) Current Inventory Less than 30 years old SCAP ELIGIBILITY (sf)

Capital Prototypical Model Elementary School Pilot Program ($200 million) Projected need of space calculated at school level NOT district-wide level Increases the space allocation square feet per elementary school student Ensures state investments for school construction supports prototypical classroom ratios and essential support staff, and permanent instructional space essential for teaching and learning (RCW 28A.150.260) Increases the construction cost allocation to $275 per square foot of state- recognized costs for construction Answers the question…”What does SCAP fund?”

Capital Prototypical Model Current SSA vs. Proposed CPM Current Formula Capital Prototypical Model 90 130-140 Number of Students Total Square Feet Ratio/ Student 400 36,000 56,084 140.21 500 45,000 66,503 133.01 600 54,000 81,266 135.44 700 63,000 91,928 131.33

School Preservation Program ($200 million) Provides funding to school districts that have limited financial resources to make needed school facility building system repairs and replacements Eligible for school districts that have: School buildings with significant building system deficiencies Such low property values that replacing or modernizing the school facility through SCAP would present an extraordinary tax burden on property owners AND exceed allowable debt for the district Creates a sustainable solution to preserve existing school infrastructure in the state while strengthening the state-local partnership
