Planning a school facilities project requires more than designing and budgeting. It also means understanding when funding will actually become available. Depending on the program, districts may receive funding in just a few months or wait several years from application submittal to processing and funding.

Other State Programs
The Universal Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, and Full-Day Kindergarten (UPKTKFDK) Facilities Grant Program, Charter School Facilities Program, and Career Technical Education Facilities Program, operate on their own funding schedules. King helps districts stay on top of changing funding rounds and guides them through every step of the application process.
One More Step
For most State programs, processing isn’t the final step. After unfunded approval by the State Allocation Board (SAB), all programs (except UPKTKFDK) enter the Priority in Funding (PIF) process, which determines the order in which approved projects receive funding as State bonds become available.
Priority in Funding (PIF) Timeline
For all programs (except UPKTKFDK)
Understanding these timelines early can help districts plan projects, budgets, and next steps. If your district has questions about funding eligibility, timelines, or facility planning, King can help guide the process.
