This is a list of all New School Facilities projects awarded by the SFB since 1999. Last updated 6/13/2022.
This document contains project information, including photos, for every new school construction project funded by the SFB. To view a particular project, open the 'bookmark' list, click on a district, then scroll through the projects. Bookmarks are sorted by district and include only completed projects.
If you would like to submit a photo or provide additional information about your district's project, please email Kerry Campbell at [email protected].
When a district receives funding from the SFB, the district signs Terms and Conditions governing the management of that award. The Board initially adopted T&C's for Purchases on June 14, 1999. On April 3, 2008, the Board modified these and developed a specific set each for Purchases, Leases and Donations.

SFB LA 201-08 Affidavit for Pesticide Restrictive Covenants is to be completed during the land acquisition process by the district when there is no agricultural use or farming of land within a one-quarter (1/4) mile radius of the subject property and when no Pesticide Restrictive Covenants are required for any of the parties within a one-quarter (1/4) mile radius of the subject property.
The SFD has provided a SAMPLE COVENANT for School Districts to use when needed.

The SFOB has collaborated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in the development of a Consultation Form, Implementation Guide, and Memorandum of Understanding to efficiently submit for review and consultation the archaeology surveys for land acquisition for compliance with the State Historic Preservation Act. School districts acquiring land may submit the Consultation Form directly to SHPO or provide the archaeology survey to the SFOB for submission to SHPO on the district's behalf. SHPO approval of the land use is required prior to SFOB disbursement of funding to acquire land.
Site Conditions Funding Guide
Site Conditions funding may be considered and allocated for projects related to existing conditions that would impact the costs of the construction project outside a typical scope of work. This includes but is not limited to:
- Costs at or under educational buildings for:
- Dynamite blasting or hand-held pneumatic or hydraulic equipment where it is a necessity and not just a convenient or expedient option.
- Replacing collapsible soil with engineered fill under concrete footings and floor slabs.
- Concrete-engineered slabs and/or piles to replace collapsible soil conditions.
- Excavating soil below 18 inches from the finished grade.
- Deep footings over 36 inches below finished grade for single-story
- Engineered fill to raise finished floor 12 to 18 inches above floodplain, if not available on site.
- Costs for on-site utilities above standard utility needs, excluding costs allowable through Adjacent Ways.
- Costs for remediation or relocation of irrigation canals, storm drains, and other underground infrastructure.
NO Site Conditions Funding will be considered or allocated for the following design or construction methods and other building requirements. This includes but is not limited to:
- Costs associated with:
- The type and size of earth-moving equipment. These are determined by project conditions and always a direct cost to the original project formula budget.
- The excavation of playfields (or parking lots beyond the required minimum).
- The depth in placing site utilities set by local and state codes is always a direct cost to the original project formula budget
- New school facilities must meet the approved formula budget; it shall be the District’s and Architect of Record’s responsibility to provide an estimate within the approved formula budget to receive final SFOB approval to proceed with construction.
- School facilities design and final compliance to meet the SFOB formula budget is the sole responsibility of the School District, Architect of Record, Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R), and/or Design Build Contractor/Architect of Record
