Budget Presentation to BOS 2024Pittsylvania County School Board
Joint Budget Work Session
with the Board of Supervisors
Tuesday, February 6, 2024
School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) Grant funding has been secured for the following
projects:
PCTC roof $435,900.00
PCTC HVAC $2,392,200.00
SMES HVAC $1,810,685.00
Receiving this funding allowed PCS to shift some CARES funding to the SMES HVAC project. This project is
on the 1% Sales Tax list. We also carried over about $1.4 million for this project. The total cost is about $7.4
million. The Division will need around $2.7 million from the 1% sales tax funds to complete the project.
The Division recently applied for SCAP funding for SES and UHES HVAC projects and KES addition.. These
projects are all priorities on the 1% Sales Tax List and are estimated to cost $18.2 million. We could
potentially receive up to $5 million to assist with these projects.
Division staff members are working hard on our end to secure any additional funding to assist with this
long punchlist of projects!
