A. Where is the funding coming from?
Funding for the construction of the USVI's new public schools will be provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). B. Has the VIDE received the funding? Some funding has been received from FEMA, which has allowed the VIDE to complete the facilities master planning and other important projects, including emergency repairs and temporary modular and Sprung campuses. The VIDE has not received funding to construct/modernize new school buildings to date. C. When will the VIDE receive funding to construct the new schools? The VIDE is working closely with FEMA and the Government of the Virgin Islands' Office of Disaster Recovery to ensure receipt of funds. The VIDE cannot rush the federal process, as there are many stringent requirements in place in order to gain access to the funding. The VIDE continues to follow the necessary steps as established by the Bipartisan Budget Action as passed by Congress unique for the “territories”. |
