Board approves resolution to apply for PA DCED facility-improvement grant for HVAC, lighting
Summary
Trustees approved submitting a Public School Facility Improvement Program grant application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for HVAC and interior lighting replacements; staff said awards for this and an earlier roofing request are expected by September.
The superintendent recommended the board approve submitting a grant application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Public School Facility Improvement Program (PSFIP). Mr. Slaughter described the district's application strategy: the earlier request in February focused on roofing, and the current request targets HVAC work and interior lighting replacements at multiple buildings.
"This is for HVAC work and, interior lighting replacements at some of the buildings," Mr. Slaughter said, adding administrators expect awards for both rounds by September. The superintendent and trustees thanked staff and local legislators for assistance in preparing timely applications.
A motion to approve submission of the grant resolution was made, seconded, and carried. The board did not specify grant award amounts on the record; staff indicated awards are expected in September and the application window for this round was short.
