D-Forms serve as the official application process for accessing funds through the School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP). They are the primary documents that form the basis of agreements between OSPI and the school districts receiving SCAP fundings. See Chapter 3: School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) Eligibility for more information.
