Hundreds of school board members and superintendents signed a joint a letter a couple months ago to the Speaker of the House about this matter. If a school district does a project now, they risk not receiving any reimbursement, because the state will refuse to accept their application.

Also, the PA Dept of Ed recently put out a report noting that there are some states that don't provide any funding for school construction or renovation. Arkansas is our new model for public education.
