The board of West Virginia’s School Building Authority has voted to distribute about $6.7 million to 10 county public school systems that requested the “major improvement project” grant money.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports the board gave final approval after discussion in voice votes on Monday with no “nays” heard for the funding in the selected counties: Fayette, Randolph, Webster, Pocahontas, Taylor, Lincoln, Pendleton, Mason, Mercer and Monongalia.
Kanawha, Cabell, Mingo and Tucker counties didn’t get any of the funding they had requested from the school building authority.
Counties requested a total of $9 million from the SBA in this year’s “major improvement project” grant cycle. The grants cannot exceed $1 million unlike the SBA’s larger “needs” grants.
The board distributes money to public schools for construction and renovation projects statewide.
