Proposition 2- New Supplemental Grants for Transitional Kindergarten Under Modernization Funding In July 2021, Assembly Bill 130 expanded the existing Full-Day Kindergarten Facilities Grant Program (FDK Program) to include preschool and transitional kindergarten. The last apportionments for those funds were approved in June 2024.
A new opportunity for districts seeking funding for transitional kindergarten facilities was approved through AB 247 (Muratsuchi, Chapter 81, Statutes of 2024). On November 5, a majority of California’s voters approved Proposition 2, which implements the provisions of AB 247 (Muratsuchi, Chapter 81, Statutes of 2024). Among the provisions of Proposition 2, EC Section 17073.
16 has been added and establishes three new supplemental grants for School Facility Program (SFP) Modernization funding applications. One of these provides funding for the retrofit of existing school facilities or new construction of a transitional kindergarten classroom(s) for school districts receiving an apportionment for modernization funding.
The passage of Proposition 2 necessitates modifications to the SFP Regulations to allow school districts to submit funding applications that allow for the inclusion of transitional kindergarten supplemental grants, as referenced in the amended Education Code. Please contact the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) regarding this new supplemental grant.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
