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 will repair or replace 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.
“Accelerated Repairs enable the MSBA to take part in more projects for more schools than would otherwise be possible,” said Executive Director McCarthy. “Most importantly, this program greatly increases the number of students who benefit from the MSBA’s grant program.”
The MSBA partners with Massachusetts communities to support the design and construction of educationally-appropriate, flexible, sustainable, and cost-effective public school facilities. Since its creation, the MSBA has made more than $8.7 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.
