Florida district won't use stimulus funding for administrative wing

Pasco County officials say administrative space doesn't qualify for federal help
July 28, 2009

From The St. Petersburg Times: If the Pasco County (Fla.) school district wants to build a new administration wing, it can't use stimulus dollars to do so. That's the opinion of the district's bond counsel, which has advised against including plans for a multimillion-dollar complex in an application for federal no-interest bonds. That means the district will focus its request for the $11 million in bonds that it qualifies for on a new culinary arts academy at Land O'Lakes High and on "major remodeling projects."
