Description
The CSP State Charter School Facilities Incentive Grant (SFIG) Program provides matched federal and state funds to help Colorado charter schools acquire, repair, and renovate facilities. The program aims to enhance the state's Charter School Capital Construction Program, establish a facility finance certification for charter leaders, and strengthen statewide capacity for school facilities management. Over five years, federal funds phase out as the state increases its contribution, with sub-grants distributed to eligible charter schools on a per-pupil basis. The initiative also includes professional development opportunities and aims to improve facility data and management practices across Colorado’s charter sector.
