<div>Dear Business Managers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to pass on a message from the Seismic Rehabilitation Program and their upcoming deadline for seismic grants. I would also like to let everyone know that if you do a seismic assessment for this program, you can use the costs of that assessment
as a basis for a technical assistance grant from the Office of School Facilities. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have more questions about the Seismic Rehabilitation Program, please contact Gloria below. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have more questions about the Technical Assistance Program, please let me know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Michael</div>
