School Construction and Facilities
When a school district undertakes a major school construction project and seeks reimbursement from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a process known as PlanCon is initiated.
PlanCon is an acronym for Planning and Construction Workbook, and is a set of forms and procedures used to apply for reimbursement. The forms are designed to: (1) document a local school district's planning process; (2) provide justification for a project to the public; (3) ascertain compliance with state laws, regulations, and standards; and (4) establish the level of state participation in the cost of the project.
Applications for PlanCon 2.0 (under Act 70 of 2019) & the Maintenance Program (under Act 70 of 2019) for the 2023/2024 school year are not being accepted. This does not affect the PDE-2071 Reimbursement Applications for existing projects.
