Funding & Finance Adequate and stable facilities funding enables district and contract personnel to responsibly operate and maintain teaching and learning environments in public school buildings and grounds. The costs for cleaning, groundskeeping, utilities, maintenance and repairs, and the supplies, materials and contracts associated with this work are included in school district annual operating budgets.
Capital and master planning, design, construction, renovation and major repair projects are included in separate, multi-year capital budgets that are typically bond financed. State laws define how districts access local financing for school construction capital projects, and whether or how states distribute state financed or state funded school construction dollars.
