OSPI: School Facilities & Organization Responsible for administering the state's K-12 capital grant programs. Provides funding, support and guidance for local school districts and assists with state policy development in the areas of facility management and capital projects. • School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) • Various Programs • Information and Condition of Schools Database (ICOS) • Certified Building Condition Assessments (BCA) • Committee Partnerships (e.g. Technical Advisory, Citizen Advisory)
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

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.
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

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