AB 607 - ERP EC 17592.72(a)(2) – Changes the
Emergency Repair Program (ERP) to include a grant program along with the current reimbursement program The current reimbursement program requires work
be funded by District and reimbursement request be approved before processing reimbursement
New grant program requires cost estimate of repairs to be completed for grant funding and audit of application upon completion of work

Emergency Repair Program Changes to the ERP resulting in the
creation of a grant program will eventually replace the current reimbursement program
Schools where API scores have improved to deciles 4 and above will no longer be eligible for ERP funding starting with new cohort.
ERP application submittal deadline for schools in this situation is June 30, 2007

ERP Grant Program – cont.
If a grant application is filed prior to June 30, 2007 projects can be completed after the school becomes ineligible (specific timeline identified in new regulations)
Request must be $5,000 or greater unless you can justify a lesser amount
Separate request for each school site, but you can now combine different types of projects on the same site to reach $5,000

ERP Grant Program – cont.
