About Us
A branch of CDE, the Division of Capital Construction has developed a series of programs and resources for capital construction funding as well as technical assistance for school districts, traditional public schools, charter schools, BOCES, and the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind.
The Capital Construction Assistance Board (CCAB) special meeting to review emergency grants to resolve ventilation and filtration issues in occupied school facilities related to the COVID-19 pandemic was held on June 3, 2021. The board voted to approve the recommended list which will now be considered by the State Board of Education on June 9, 2021.
