COVID-19 Extension Requests
TO: ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS OF SCHOOLS
At the March 25, 2020, State Allocation Board (SAB) Meeting, the SAB approved emergency regulations to allow the Executive Officer of the SAB and the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) to temporarily extend any deadline set forth in regulations adopted by the Board or any other rules and procedures set by the Board and/or OPSC for all programs administered by the SAB.
Executive Order N-25-20, issued on March 4, 2020, proclaimed a State of Emergency exists in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19. As a result, the Executive Officer has authority during a proclaimed emergency by the Governor of the State of California to program grant extensions and the Executive Officer must inform the SAB of any action taken. Extensions granted would be based on a reasonable time period as determined by the Executive Officer.
This notification is provided to all school districts and county superintendent of schools to provide advance notification that the Executive Officer intends to notify the SAB at its next meeting, OPSC will no longer accept COVID-19 extension requests effective August 25, 2022. Following Executive Order N-11-22, the majority of the provisions in Executive Orders following N-25-20 expired on or before June 30, 2022.
OPSC will continue to accept and review extension requests for any other ongoing states of emergency, such as wildfires, for school districts directly impacted. School districts that are requesting an extension request as a result of a state of emergency shall continue to submit the School District Extension Request Form.
For all other requests for extensions please contact the assigned OPSC Project Manager or Auditor.
