CSFP Overview

Through the passage of Propositions 47, 55, and 1D, $900 million has been made available to charter schools for construction of new facilities or rehabilitation of existing school district facilities.

On May 27, 2009 the State Allocation Board (SAB) authorized the creation of the 2009 CSFP filing round using $50.9 million that was returned to the program. Since that time, there have been several actions that have returned additional monies. The total amount available is $81.6 million.

Filing Period: The filing period for the 2009 rounds has been closed since September 28, 2009.

On May 26, 2010, the SAB approved thirteen projects, for ten charter schools. To see list of awardees, please view the SAB agenda, select the “Consent Specials.pdf” tab, and go to page 13 of 26.
