The main goals of the Accelerated Repair Program are to improve learning environments for children and teachers, reduce energy use, and generate cost savings for districts. The Program is primarily for the repair and/or replacement of roofs, windows, and/or boilers in schools that are otherwise structurally, functionally, and educationally sound.
“Our Accelerated Repair Program allows us to make much needed repairs that can greatly extend a school’s working life. Besides improving the learning environment for our children, accelerated repairs also make our schools more energy efficient and generate significant cost savings. It's a win-win program for everyone," stated Treasurer Steven Grossman.
“The Accelerated Repair Program will directly benefit thousands of children in these communities by sustaining their learning environment in a cost effective manner,” said Executive Director McCarthy.
The MSBA works with local communities to identify school facility needs, develop fiscally responsible and educationally appropriate solutions, and create safe, sound, and sustainable learning environments. Since its 2004 creation, the MSBA has made more than $8.6 billion in timely payments to cities, towns, and regional school districts for school construction projects. These timely payments have saved municipalities over $2.9 billion in avoided local interest costs and have provided much needed cash flow to communities.
