Created by the Act of July 5, 1947 (P.L. 1217), the State Public School Building Authority (SPSBA) finances the construction and improvement of public schools, community colleges, educational broadcasting facilities, and area vocational/technical schools by issuing low-cost, tax-exempt bonds and serving as a financing conduit between lenders and the borrowing institutions. The Authority issues primarily stand-alone bond financings, which may be for new capital projects or the refunding of prior debt. The SPSBA is a public corporation and a governmental instrumentality of the Commonwealth. It shares its administrative functions, executive director, authority members, and executive directors with the Pennsylvania Higher Educational Facilities Authority (RG-49). Authority members consist of the Governor, the State Treasurer, the Auditor General, the Secretaries of Education and General Services, and others from the General Assembly.
Additional materials may be found among the records of the individual authority members and within other series in their respective record groups.
