Rate per $1,000 - Year One
School Building: $1.25
Calculating Your Cost
Assessed Property Value (From Your Tax Bill) / $1,000
X (Rate per $1,000)
= Annual Cost
Example School Building
$459,000 / $1,000 X $1.25 = $574

Community Presentation | June 13, 2019 11FUNDING THE PROJECT | MSBA POLICY
MSBA Policy for Project Approval
• To qualify for any funding from the MSBA, the District must follow the MSBA statute and
regulations.
• The Schematic Design submittal informs the basis of the approved project scope, schedule and
Maximum Total Facilities Grant.
• In order for the MSBA to enter into a Project Scope and Budget Agreement with the District, the
District must:
• Submit a Schematic Design for the proposed project prior to the MSBA Board meeting
• Receive approval from the MSBA Board for its proposed project
• Return 3 signed copies of the Project Scope and Budget Agreement to MSBA
• In order for the MSBA to enter into a Project Funding Agreement with the District, the District must
secure local authorization and funding within 120 days of the MSBA Board's vote.
Community Presentation | June 13, 2019 12FUNDING THE PROJECT | MSBA POLICY
MSBA policy if Town fails to vote to appropriate funding
• A failed vote “will likely result in the school district being required to submit a new SOI and await
invitation”. In a typical year, the MSBA receives more than 80 statements of interest and invites
less than 15 districts in to their eligibility period. There is no guarantee that the district would
receive another invitation to eligibility.
• Loss of $32 Million in potential state funds + reimbursement rates are subject to change in the
future based on MSBA funding capacity and future changes to policy.
• The value of construction continues to rise at a steady rate. Construction cost reports list the
Boston region at a 4.42% annual increase from January 2018 to January 2019. Any future project is
estimated to have a greater construction cost due to industry-wide cost increases.
