The Technical Assistance Program (TAP) helps districts plan for capital improvements and expansion so they can better inform their communities about deferred maintenance needs, future enrollment and explore sources of funding for school facilities. TAP provides four types of grants to school districts to cover or offset the costs of conducting:

1. Facility Condition Assessments;
2. Long-Range Facility Planning;
3. Seismic Assessments, and;
4. Environmental Hazard Assessments.

The Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Program (OSCIM) provides matching grants to districts that pass a local general obligation bond. The goal of the program is to encourage local communities to invest in their district's public schools. Commitments are made to districts ahead of the election so districts can inform their communities of the potential for additional funds from the state if the local bond passes. The matching grants are up to $4 million for most districts and some districts may receive up to $8 million in matching grants.
