INTERIM COMMITTEE STUDIES

2010 INTERIM

 

 

SELECT COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL FACILITIES

 

Standard Budget:     $20,000.00

 

Priority # 1     School Facilities Commission Reorganization.

 

Pursuant to Budget Bill Section 341, the Select Committee is required to prepare a reorganization plan for the School Facilities Commission for submission to the Joint Appropriations Committee.  The plan is to be submitted to JAC by September 1, together with enabling legislation, and is to include all components of the school capital construction system.

 

Priority # 2     School Facilities Commission budget and school facility remedies.

 

The Select Committee is by law required to review the School Facilities Commission budget on school facilities needs, and to review monthly reports depicting all school capital construction projects and component level projects funded and forwarded in the 2011-2012 budget.  Any resulting budget recommendations are to be submitted to the Joint Appropriations Committee by September 1.

 

 

 

Priority # 3     School Capital Construction System Process.

 

Following through with 2009 audit findings on the School Facilities Commission, ensure the facility prioritization process and the scheduling of facility construction projects reflect legislative intent, with specific attention devoted to the impact of facility capacity on appropriately "sizing" facilities and responding to changing school populations, as well as the relationship of facility needs identification criteria and the subsequent determination of facility remedies.  An additional factor in this review is the role of major maintenance in addressing facility needs.

 

Priority # 4     School Facilities Commission Post-Audit.

 

Pursuant to Budget Bill Section 340 and following up on the 2009 audit findings, the Department of Audit is required to conduct an accounting of total costs of all school capital construction projects funded for the preceding four biennia ending with the most recent 2009-2010 biennium.  The accounting is to be reported to the Select Committee by September 1, in conjunction with the Commission's supplemental budget request.
