Thank you... The way that post was written implied that $8.6B was earmarked exclusively for private capital projects. Jesus. The public system may be in even worse shape than I thought.
For further clarification, I believe any funding allocated to private schools is also capped at $3mm and requires the school to have matching funds in place.
