Committee Report (Substituted) |
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Interested parties have expressed concern about state funds allocated for new instructional facilities not being fully utilized and the need for funding to allow a school district to furbish an existing facility that has never been used for instructional purposes or to refurbish an existing instructional facility for a new instructional purpose. C.S.H.B. 1081 seeks to address these concerns by extending eligibility for state funding for these types of facilities.
