School Construction
Entitlement
Districts submitting applications for qualifying projects
are awarded construction grant entitlements by ISBE. Entitlements
qualify districts for the program; however, it is not a guarantee
for funding.
Entitled district must secure their local share in order
to be eligible for a school construction project grant award.
Those entitled districts who do not secure their local share
before the end of the fiscal year in which they are applying,
can submit an update application in order to be merged with
the new applications for the new fiscal year.
Carry over projects are those entitled projects for which
the school district has arranged and approved local financing
but has not received an award during the fiscal year in which
the district has applied, due to lack of adequate appropriations.
In accordance with Section 5-37 of School Construction Law,
these carry over projects will be placed ahead of any new
school construction projects within the same priority category
that are approved for grant awards for the following year.
