05-071-61 Me. Code R. § 5
After the Final Priority List is established, the Commissioner shall recommend and the State Board shall designate projects from that list that it intends to fund for a given Rating Cycle. This will be the Approved Projects List. The number of designated projects for funding will be determined by available resources. Should resources permit, additional projects may be approved by the State Board and they shall be selected from the Final Priority List.
Placement on the Approved Projects List is an acknowledgement that the pupils in the rated facility have a significant need to be housed under improved circumstances. It does not assure replacement of the facility(ies) that received the rating.
If resources do not allow all the projects on the Approved Projects List to be funded, the unfunded projects will be placed at the top of the Approved Projects List of the next Rating Cycle.
