<div>Dear Business Managers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun and safe time. It is time for the 2013-14 Facility Grant to begin. I am enclosing the 2013-14 application form as well as the 2013-15 instructions. You may also find these documents under the Facility Grant link
in the Schedule of Due Dates found on the ODE district site.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Applications are due by February 15. If the applications are postmarked by February 15, that will also qualify for meeting the deadline. I will pay out the Facility Grant for those districts that had qualified projects in the March 2014 payment. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please remember that the building, to qualify, has to be in use by January 15.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have any questions, please let me know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Michael</div>
