7. Capital
Project Amendment No. 05CPA000005?Durham Public
Schools?
2003 Bond Adjustments & Public School Building Capital Funding for Bond
Projects
Durham Public Schools Board of Education
has approved adjustments to the distribution of phase one 2003 Bond projects. Due to requirements to have all funding
available for contracts at the time of issuance, a redistribution of the phase
one funds is required. This does not
result in any change in the scope or total budget for any project. This also does not delay any project. However, because of these changes, coupled
with the use of State funds, other critical projects with safety implications
can be expedited.
Several projects have already been
completed under budget and the resulting balance is available for
redistribution. Furthermore, local bond
funds may serve as the local match to access funds from the Public School
Building Capital Fund (PSBCF). Nine
applications to the PSBCF are included with the redistribution of bond
funds. No new County funds are required.
The Board of Education requests
approval of the redistribution of phase one 2003 Bond funds and approval of the
applications to the PSBCF.
