<div>Dear Business Managers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope all is well and everyone had a good weekend. I want to provide a final reminder that the OSCIM program application period opens at 8:00 am on July 1, 2016. The application window will be open through 5:00 pm on July 5. This short window is so that
we can process applications quickly and to ensure compliance with the lottery procedures for first in time. The application is attached.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please note the following:</div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<li>Secure FTP will only allow one attachment. Thus, all attachments need to be combined into one document before submitting. If a district chooses to submit multiple attachments, then the application is complete when the last attachment is received.</li><li>Secure FTP can be sent to <a href="mailto:ode.schoolfacilities@state.or.us"><font color="blue"><u>ode.schoolfacilities@state.or.us</u></font></a></li><li>If a district is selected for a commitment, the district will need to meet the following deadlines:</li></ol>
<ol type="a" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<li>Board resolution authorizing bond election must be turned into ODE by August 5. </li><li>A copy of the SEL 803 documents to be submitted to the county election office must be submitted by August 12.</li><li>These two deadlines are there so that if a district that receives commitment does not go for an election, then a waitlist district can be notified and have time to get their documents in by the deadline.</li></ol>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.</div>
