Rural grants for projects on tribal land

Rural school districts in counties with fewer than 100,000 people can get state grants for capital projects on qualified tribal land. A district may apply in any year it gets a gift, grant, or donation for the project, or earns interest on money for it. If funds are available and the project is eligible, the Director awards an amount equal to the documented donation and/or the interest earned. Apply using the Director’s form with a project description and proof of the donation or interest; the Director sets the annual deadline. Projects can include building new schools, repairs or expansions, or buying school sites. Qualified tribal land is land held in trust or owned by a tribe or Native American with federal limits on sale, where a tribe has governmental power.

School and rural capital funds keep unspent money

Unspent money in the statewide school capital fund and the rural school capital fund no longer reverts at year end. The balances carry forward and stay available next year. Districts can keep these dollars for school construction, repairs, and sites instead of losing them to the State General Fund.
