Matching Funds Projects at 12 Schools:  Burnett Middle, Chiles Elementary, Hammond Elementary, Lennard High, Lithia Springs Elementary, Martinez Middle, Mitchell Elementary, Newsome High, Sessums Elementary, Turner-Bartels K-8, Westchase Elementary and Wilson Middle Schools

The Matching Funds Program was established in 2001/2002 by the Superintendent to assist schools and their partners in raising funds for capital improvements by matching dollars in any amount up to $50,000.  On October 26, 2009, a committee comprised of elementary, middle and high school principals and the Facilities Division met to review and update the program procedures to be effective for the 2010/2011 fiscal year (revised procedures attached).

Expenditures are funded as follows:  A minimum contribution of 50% of the project cost and the balance from Millage Matching Funds, not to exceed $50,000.
