"Our intent is to gather and/or develop a broad range of financing tools for school facilities -- tools that can be used on their own or mixed with capital bonds." -Louis Fontenot, Chair CISF, Facilities Finance Committee

The Center for Innovative School Facilities provides access to professionals who can help districts develop funding options to help meet their budgeting needs. This includes pre-development costs and alternative funding, as well as supplementing bond financing to cover the gap between traditional and green building. This section includes a financial toolkit, designed to walk districts through financing options and act as a central clearinghouse for alternative financing options.
