District applies for School Maintenance Project Grant to replace Edison north parking lot
Summary
The district applied for an FY25 School Maintenance Project Grant (SMPG) to replace Edison Elementary's north parking lot; the project is estimated at $150,000 and the SMPG provides awards up to $50,000 with a dollar-for-dollar local match.
District administrators told the board that the Edison north parking lot has reached end of life, with cracking, potholes and winter pooling that creates ice hazards. The administration has included a project for replacement—removing the old surface, repairing the sub-base and repaving—in its FY25 School Maintenance Project Grant (SMPG) application. The district estimates total project costs at $150,000 and noted SMPG grants provide awards up to $50,000 and require a dollar‑for‑dollar local match.
If the grant is awarded, the district said it will go out to public bid for the work. The SMPG program does not permit ongoing operational costs (including in-house labor for projects not contracted out) in the grant award, and the board packet clarifies that applicants must provide the local match. The application was included in the consent agenda and approved as part of the consent vote.
