The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) approved more than $154 million in state funding for school construction projects in six Ohio school districts on Tuesday, one of them being Valley View Local Schools in Montgomery County.
Including $181 million in local funding, the projects represent more than $336 million in public construction work.
“OFCC is excited to partner with these districts to build high-quality, flexible learning environments that support their community’s vision for educational success,” said OFCC Executive Director Cheryl J. Lyman.
Valley View is set to receive around $39 million from the state, and in addition raised about $26 million locally, according to a release from OFCC.
The district will be using the $65+ million towards the construction of new school buildings for grades PreK–12.
The school districts with projects approved participated in OFCC’s Classroom Facilities Assistance Program.
Funding awards still require approval upon from the State Controlling Board.
