Twin Valley SD board authorizes $2 million CFA grant application for school improvements

The Twin Valley School District board on March 9 authorized a resolution to apply to the Commonwealth Financing Authority for a Public School Facilities Improvement grant of approximately $2,000,000 to support reading-area renovation projects at Twin Valley Elementary Center and Twin Valley Middle School. The board read the resolution aloud and affirmed the action by voice vote.

The grant application, if awarded, would fund facility improvements the board described as part of a reading project serving both elementary and middle school students. Board members indicated the resolution is an application to a state financing authority; the district must still complete the Commonwealth Financing Authority application process and meet any subsequent requirements for award and disbursement.

The board recorded its assent verbally during the meeting. Next steps listed in the meeting packet call for administration to submit the CFA application and return to the board with updates on submission status and any required local match or project schedule.
