2009 Recovery Act Funding
Senate Bill 754 enables North Carolina schools to
use interest-free bonds for school construction, repair and renovation as part
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Governor Perdue signed
Senate Bill 754 into law on Wednesday, June 19, 2009. The bill allows local
education agencies to administer $275,772,000 in bonding authority for new,
qualified school construction bonds (QSCB) and gives $56,699,000 in bonding
authority to continue qualified zone academy bonds (QZAB).
Information and application packets have been sent to each LEA Office, Local
Superintendents and County Finance Managers. It is critical that LEAs submit
their packets back to the Department of Public Instruction by due dates. If districts
either cannot or choose not to utilize the QSCB authority, the State Board of
Education may reallocate that authority to another LEA.
