    School Construction and Facilities

    Act 25 of 2016

    In accordance with Act 25 of 2016, Section 1710-E.2 the Department of Education (PDE) is posting at the links below information related to public school construction projects, reconstruction projects, building purchases and lease reimbursements. This information is in a searchable and sortable format and will be updated every 90 days.

    The posted information is divided among three Excel Workbooks which are described below.

    A catalog of all the PlanCon projects submitted to PDE since the inception of the program that have either been voided or received an approved Part J (final reimbursement percentage). Some of these projects may still be receiving state reimbursement. The information on this log is static.

    Please Note: This log does not include data on project costs, reimbursements or financing methods because that information was not compiled in the aggregate. For answers to specific questions about one of these older projects, please contact PDE’s Division of Budget and School Facilities at ra-schoolfacilities@pa.gov.

    Proj​​ect Number
    PDE assigns this number to each project upon issuance of the Part A approval letter.  The letter P in front of a number indicates that the project is pending and that PDE has received a Part A for review.  The letters PS in front of a number indicates a pending site or building acquisition.  The letters SA in front of a number indicates an advanced site or building acquisition.​

    Project ​​​Building Name
    This column lists the type of project, consistent with Section 1710-E.2 (1).  This description notes the name and the type of building.  For example, if it is an elementary school (ES), a middle school (MS), a high school (HS), or a District Administration Office (DAO).

    T​​​ype
    This column lists the scope of the project, consistent with Section 1710-E.2 (2).  Abbreviations include: NEW = New building; ADD/ALT = Additions and alterations; ALT = Alterations; SITE = Site acquisition; PUR = Building and site purchase.

    Part Ap​​​pro​ved
    These columns list Department approval dates for each Part, consistent with Section 1710-E.2 (4)(8).   Please note that there can be multiple approval dates because Parts C, F, G, H, and Part I may have multiple submissions.

    Please N​​​ote: This log does not include data on project costs, reimbursements or financing methods because that information was not compiled in the aggregate.  For answers to specific questions about one of these older projects, please contact PDE's Division of Budget and School Facilities at ra-schoolfacilities@pa.gov.

    A catalog of all projects that have not yet received an approved Part J. This log includes information on project costs, reimbursements and financing. This log will be updated on an ongoing basis, and will be refreshed on the public website every 90 days.

    Please Note: Many of the projects on this log do not have a receipt date for each Part because in the past PDE did not track these dates. Moving forward, as the project parts progress through the process these prior receipt dates will be entered into this document. There can be multiple received dates for each part if revisions are made during a step.
