ASSUMPTIONS - BASED ON:
A set amount of facilities partnership funding is available each year. Projects are ranked and
funding is based on factors such as project type, geographic region, and the district’s wealth
index. Changing the definition of an academic facility could cause an increase in the number of
projects. Without additional funding this means fewer projects will be awarded.
