 San Cayetano Elementary was able to replace its roof thanks to a grant from the State Allocation Board. Workers have been busy over the summer at San Cayetano and Piru Elementary Schools replacing roofs, asphalt and improving our play structures. Applications for Emergency Repair funding were submitted to the State in 2008. Due to the many years of the State’s fiscal crisis the funds were not awarded. In October 2014 FUSD, the only Ventura County district to receive these funds, was granted $3,091,742 by the State Allocation Board. This represents 3.3% of the total funding that was distributed State-wide. This grant was allocated to 2 schools: These funds can be used for repairs to roofing, asphalt, playfields, paving concrete sidewalks, communications / fire alarm systems, painting, windows, flooring, fencing and replacement of one portable classroom at each school. Some of this repair work has been completed since the time of this application. The district is reviewing prior payments to show that this work was done so that the funding can be moved from one project at the site to another project at the same site. This will help with the current cost, as the allocated amounts approved were based on 2008 costs. We’re in the final stages of finishing the roofs, striping the parking lots, raking the play areas and getting ready to welcome our students for the new school year. San Cayetano and Piru Elementary Schools are located in Ventura County and is part of the Fillmore Unified School District. |
