Office of Public School Construction’s Update

The Office of Public School Construction’s (OPSC) staff are primarily teleworking. As a reminder, school districts can email all documents to one email address. All documents should be emailed to the Application Review Team (ART) at OPSCApplicationReviewTeam@dgs.ca.gov. ART will send an email acknowledgement of receipt for all submittals and ensure it is routed to the appropriate staff.

Staff are available to conduct all business by all means such as email, teleconference calls, Zoom and Microsoft Team meetings. In person meetings with school districts and consultants are available by request.

State Allocation Board meetings will continue via Zoom meetings. Grant processing, grant agreements, fund release, and normal business operations will continue as OPSC’s core mission.
