District to apply for School Maintenance Grant to replace galvanized piping; $100,000 commitment to secure $50,000 reimbursement
Summary
Administration said the district will apply for a School Maintenance Project Grant requiring a $100,000 commitment in eligible work to receive $50,000 reimbursement; the larger galvanized piping replacement is estimated at $600,000 and the district plans to use remaining STEM Wing funds to cover the $100,000 qualifying portion to meet the Jan. 30 deadline.
Administration reviewed a School Maintenance Project Grant application tied to the 2021 Health and Life Safety audit that identifies galvanized piping replacement as a priority. Under grant rules, the District must commit $100,000 in eligible maintenance work to receive $50,000 in reimbursement; administration said it will use remaining STEM Wing funds immediately to meet the application deadline of Jan. 30.
The transcript notes the larger galvanized piping replacement project is estimated at $600,000, with $100,000 of that work designated to qualify for the grant. Administration said the work could later be funded through a life safety bond if one is issued, but the time‑sensitive grant deadline required immediate use of available funds to secure the reimbursement.
