A JOINT RESOLUTION authorizing the release of funds.

HJR 32 authorizes the release of state funds from the School Facility Assistance Fund to 13 specific Kentucky school districts for facility construction, repair, or renovation projects. The bill directs the Office of State Budget Director to release 50% of the cost difference (after accounting for local resources) for eligible schools meeting strict criteria, including being ranked Priority 1 or 2 in district plans and having a dedicated capital tax. It explicitly excludes athletic facilities and specifies that six districts were ineligible due to failing criteria or having sufficient local funding. The approved districts include Adair County Schools ($3.8M) and Harrison County Schools ($31.8M), among others, for fiscal year 2025-2026.
