MSBA Grant Program Information:
The MSBA's grant program is a non-entitlement, competitive program, and grants are distributed by the MSBA Board of Directors based on need and urgency, as expressed by districts and validated by the MSBA. Submitting a SOI is not an invitation into the MSBA's Capital Pipeline; it is the initial step in the MSBA's program. Moving forward in the MSBA's process requires further collaboration between districts and the MSBA.
Submitting a SOI is the critical first step in the MSBA's program for school building construction, addition/renovation, and repair grants. The SOI allows districts to inform us about deficiencies that may exist in a local school facility and how those deficiencies inhibit the delivery of the district’s educational program.
