Summary
The board approved a resolution authorizing staff to apply for a Commonwealth Public School Facilities Improvement Grant of $4,987,000 to replace boilers, air handlers and windows at the high school; the grant would cover 75% of costs with a 25% district match.
The Carlisle Area School District on Monday authorized district officials to apply for a Public School Facilities Improvement Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, seeking $4,987,000 to fund high school boilers, air handler replacements and window work.
The resolution, presented by the facilities committee, instructs district officials to pursue the grant and designates two district staff members to execute grant documents. The board approved the resolution by voice vote.
Facilities committee members said last year—s PSFI funds were used for high school HVAC work and that this year—s request is a continuation of that capital plan. Committee remarks noted that the grant provides 75% of eligible costs and that the district would be responsible for the remaining 25% if the application is successful. No specific local match source was identified in the meeting record.
The presentation referenced recent work on campus HVAC systems and listed boilers, air handlers and windows as the targeted scope. The board did not amend the resolution during the meeting; members expressed support for pursuing available state funding.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff will submit the application and, if awarded, follow up with the board on the required local match and project timeline.
