R.I. Governor Encourages Schools to Use Construction Fund for Security Improvements
Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo is urging school districts to utilize a $10.5 million school construction fund – the School Building Authority Fund – to make immediate school security repairs, according to The Providence Journal.
The combined grant and revolving loan fund was created in 2015 so schools could get funding for smaller projects or emergency repairs. The projects must be for low-dollar, high-impact repairs, and the work must be completed in 18 months.
