Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2016 Knappa schools plan for future Grants provide opportunities By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — With the temptation of grants and matching state money, Knappa School Board is planning for the future. New Superintendent Pau- lette Johnson gathered the Knappa School Board Mon- day to start the discussion . The state has made $1.8 million available this school year in $20,000 technical assistance grants for facili- ties assessment, long-range planning and seismic stabil- ity studies. Knappa, Asto- ria and Jewell all applied for the ﬁ rst two. Astoria also applied for a seismic stabil- ity grant. “You get the profession- als in here that help you do the assessments,” said Nikki Fowler, the district’s busi- ness manager , adding the dis- trict should take advantage of such funds while they’re available. Paulette Johnson Johnson said the dis- trict would likely hire a company to assess the physical condi- tion of the school, providing a plan in the short- and long- term. She said the district will hear back on the grant in the coming weeks. OBITUARIES For 60 percent of the fund, the state offers districts whose voters pass bonds up to $4 million in matching money — potentially up to $8 million based on need. The remaining 40 percent is given out in other matching grants on a ﬁ rst-come, ﬁ rst- served basis. “One requirement is these assessments being done prior to applying for the match- ing grants,” Fowler said. She said the district needs to act when these pots of money are available. The program is meant to entice voters into passing local bond measures. It was a big reason why 21 school dis- tricts in Oregon asked voters for a combined $562 million in construction bonds during the May primary election, when the state made $61.5 million available. Of the 16 districts eligible for match- ing money who tried, only seven passed bonds, secur- ing more than $52 million in matching state funds. Bond help A facilities assessment could also help secure mil- lions of matching state money, should Knappa suc- cessfully go to the school district’s voters for a school improvement bond. The state Legislature last year authorized $123 million in state-backed general obli- gation bonds for the s chool c apital i mprovement m atch- ing p rogram.
