State School Bond Efforts
Efforts in the Legislature
Efforts on a state school bond have taken a backseat to other priorities in the Legislature, which does not need to act until next year to place a bond on the November 2016 ballot.

Only one of the three main bond bill vehicles met recent legislative deadlines to make it out of Appropriations Committee and to the floor.  SB 114 (Liu) was passed out of Senate Appropriations Committee without the addition of a specific dollar amount; however this bill

Legislative Update

May 2015

The Legislature just passed a very important deadline: May 1 was the last day for policy committees to hear and pass bills with potential fiscal implications.  Most bills are now pending in the Appropriations Committee in their house of origin and must be passed out of that committee by May 29.  Bills are then considered by the full Senate or Assembly and Senate bills must be passed out of the Senate and Assembly bills passed out of the Assembly by June 5.

Crunch Time for School Facilities

Posted on January 27, 2014 by CASH

joedixonOn behalf of the C.A.S.H. Board of Directors, I would like to wish a Happy New Year to our C.A.S.H. family.

In light of the significant changes that the education community has faced and will continue to face, 2014 figures to be an eventful year for the school facilities community.  What role will the state play in funding school facilities going forward?  Will there be a 2014 statewide school bond?  What is happening with the School Facility Program (SFP)?  How will maintenance departments fund their activities under the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)?  How do districts access and effectively utilize Proposition 39 energy efficiency funds?  These are essential questions for the school facilities community, and they will all be deliberated during this pivotal year.
