Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Superintendents of the county school districts or the local School Improvement Committees to apply to the School Building Authority for emergency funding to remediate hazards from natural processes.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Superintendent of a county school district or the Local School Improvement Committee to directly apply to the School Building Authority (SBA) for emergency funding to fix hazards to school buildings caused by natural events, such as floods or earthquakes. The SBA will then quickly evaluate the danger and start a bidding process (Request for Proposal or RFP) to find a contractor for the repairs. If the estimated cost of these repairs is less than half the value of the school, as determined by the Comprehensive Education Facilities Plan, the SBA will make fixing the hazard a top priority to safeguard the existing school building.
