(1) There is hereby established the school building emergency assistance program, under which the Ohio facilities construction commission shall distribute grants to eligible school districts from moneys specifically appropriated by the general assembly for the purposes of this section to assist in emergency projects. Any assistance under this section shall be used to pay the cost of only the portion of an emergency project that is not covered by insurance or other public or private emergency assistance received by or payable to the school district.
