    Summary

    The purpose of the grant is to provide funding for large essential equipment for CTAE labs in new or modified school facilities. Only major equipment purchases (capital expenditures) can be reimbursed.

    • Construction-related items include items which are considered major equipment purchases having a life cycle of five years or more and which are repairable, not needing to be replaced.
    • Equipment purchased must have a useful life equal or exceeding the five-year term of the bond, and should be in operation for a minimum of five years after receiving CRE funding. 
    • There is a minimum cost of $100.00 per individual item. If items are sold in a kit or set, each individual item in the kit or set must have a value that exceeds $100.00.
    • Equipment purchased must have a serial number from the manufacturer. The serial number must be included on the final invoice from the vendor. The only exception to this would be lab specific workbenches and lab specific tables. For additional guidance, please contact your Program Specialist.
    • Items purchased should be for student use and for direct instruction to students.
    • Construction-Related Equipment Bond grant funds should not be the only funds considered when planning for the equipment and other programmatic needs of a new or modified facility. Quality Basic Education (QBE) funds, SPLOST funds, capital outlay funds, resources of local business partners, and local school funds are also resources that should be considered.
    • Only CTAE Pathways that have been State Board Approved are eligible for Construction-Related Equipment Grant funding.
