7. School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) • First established in 1947 as the basic state aid program for “State assistance to school districts in providing school plant facilities” • WA State’s largest capital grant program • OSPI creates program rules and contributes funding, training, and technical assistance in facility planning, construction, and contracting • Operates as a partnership between local school districts and the state to fund construction of new schools and modernize existing facilities • School districts have the primary responsibility for school construction funding, and as the facility owner, are responsible for overseeing all phases of the project

9. OSPI’s 2019–21 Capital Budget Priorities Reality: Equity of Access Washington does not have a standardized model for funding school construction in an equitable way. This means not all students learn in buildings that are safe, enhance their health and well-being, or meet the needs of today’s students and educators.

10. OSPI’s 2019–21 Capital Budget Priorities Goal: Equity of Access Every student should have the opportunity to learn in a facility that: • Supports their health and safety • Provides the best educational outcomes …. Regardless of a school district’s ability or inability to raise capital project funds

11. Equity of Access Pathways School Construction Project New Growth Replacement Modernization Building Systems • Current SCAP funding • Capital Prototypical Model • Current SFO Programs • School Preservation Program Local Resources Limited Local Resources

12. 2019-21 OSPI Capital Budget Request Million(s) 2019-21 School Construction Assistance Program 1.148 Billion Capital Prototypical Model (CPM)* 200 School Preservation Program (SPP)* 200 Skill Centers 43.7 STEM Classrooms and Labs 10 Emergency Repairs and Equal Access Grants 10 Healthy Kids/ Healthy Schools 6.75 Career and Technical Education Equipment Grants 5 SFO Administration and ICOS Database 4.1 Study & Survey Grants 2.5 1.63 Billion

13. SCAP Funding Formula Drivers Maximum State Funding Eligible Area Construction Cost Allocation (CCA) Funding Assistance Percentage X X = Grade SpanSF/ Student K-6 90 7-8 117 9-12 130 *Students w/ Disabilities 144 • Minus current Inventory • 30 year rule Release Year July 2011 $183.78 July 2012 $188.55 July 2013 $194.26 July 2014 $200.40 July 2015 $206.76 July 2016 $213.23 July 2017 $219.58 July 2018 $225.97 • Level of Assistance Relates to Wealth in District. • Local Assessed Land Value per Pupil compared to State Average Value per Pupil. See WAC for formula.

14. Enrollment Projections (Report 1049)

15. SCAP Eligibility Calculation Projected Enrollments x Student Space Allocation = NEED of SPACE (sf) Current Inventory Less than 30 years old SCAP ELIGIBILITY (sf)

16. Capital Prototypical Model Elementary School Pilot Program ($200 million) • Projected need of space calculated at school level NOT district-wide level • Increases the space allocation square feet per elementary school student • Ensures state investments for school construction supports prototypical classroom ratios and essential support staff, and permanent instructional space essential for teaching and learning (RCW 28A.150.260) • Increases the construction cost allocation to $275 per square foot of state-recognized costs for construction • Answers the question…”What does SCAP fund?”

18. Current SSA vs. Proposed CPM

20. School Preservation Program ($200 million) • Provides funding to school districts that have limited financial resources to make needed school facility building system repairs and replacements • Eligible for school districts that have: • School buildings with significant building system deficiencies • Such low property values that replacing or modernizing the school facility through SCAP would present an extraordinary tax burden on property owners AND exceed allowable debt for the district • Creates a sustainable solution to preserve existing school infrastructure in the state while strengthening the state-local partnership
