7. 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

9. 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.

10. 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

16. 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 )
Increases the construction cost allocation to $275 per square foot of state- recognized costs for construction
Answers the question…”What does SCAP fund?”

20. 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
