Board reviews pipeline of capital grants, including pending safety and solar awards
Summary
Superintendent Paul Wieneke updated the Southside School District Board on several capital grants—two roughly $500,000 awards (a federal safety grant under evaluation and a planned solar grant), a $200,000 kitchen grant in planning, and an HVAC application being routed through OSPI.
Superintendent Paul Wieneke presented an update on the district’s capital-grant activities, noting multiple grants at different stages. He said a federal school-safety grant of about $500,000 remains in award evaluation, and a separate $500,000 solar grant is planned for installation during spring break on the roof of the grades 3–7 classroom wing.
Wieneke also reported the district is pursuing an HVAC energy-efficiency grant through the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) rather than the Washington State Department of Commerce, and that a $200,000 kitchen grant has moved into planning and will require permitting. He said the Rural Modernization Grant is in planning but construction release depends on the legislature. No formal action or funding acceptance occurred at the meeting; these were informational updates to the board.
