!Huge! School Building Aid Announcement !Huge!
Hi All,
Please read the post below on proposed changes in school building aid. This emphasizes the immediate need to get this project done. I cut and pasted the entire email shy only the email addresses it was sent to and the authors personal contact info.
Subject: School Building Aid
The legislative study committee on School Building Aid met this morning to consider its draft interim report. The committee voted that they will recommend to the full legislature that a temporary suspension of building aid for new projects should be considered, but any such suspension should not be effective prior to May 30, 2010. In other words, projects being proposed at district meetings prior to May 30, 2010 will be eligible for building aid under the current statute and rules.
Cities that do not hold annual school district meetings will need to hold bond votes prior to May 30, 2010 as well, if they want their projects to be exempt from any suspension that becomes effective after that date.
There was no discussion about the length of any temporary suspension or which future projects might be exempt.
Please keep in mind that this is still just a committee recommendation.
The committee will meet again on December 15th to consider its final version of the interim report. The final committee report is due November 1, 2010.
