The New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) is the State agency responsible for fully funding and managing the new construction, modernization and renovation of school facilities projects in 31 school districts known as the SDA Districts.

There are three types of projects the SDA funds:

Capital Projects – These are new schools, major renovations and rehabilitation projects in the SDA Districts.

Emergent Projects – Emergent projects are those deemed necessary in SDA Districts due to potential health and safety issues.

ROD Grants – Grant funding is provided for projects in Regular Operating Districts that address health and safety issues and other critical needs. The grants are contingent on local approval of the remaining district share of the total costs needed.

The SDA's current portfolio of active projects is valued at approximately $2 billion – including the Capital Project Portfolio, Emergent Projects and Regular Operating District grants.
