Bus/Financial / Financing of school project

German term or phrase: Schulträger

Da die endgültige Mittelzusage des Schulträgers erst im September 2001 erfolgen konnte, musste der Start des Notebook Projektes auf den Sommer 2002 verschoben werden – genug Zeit für die weitere Ausarbeitung des Projektes. I know that this can be a state government or religious organization, but it is this called in English.

maintaining body

Explanation:
In Germany, this might be, more precisely, the "local/municipal authority" if the school is public, or a voluntary/church/private body if it is a private school.
It is the body responsible for school maintenance and upkeep (but not payment of teachers, which is the responsibility of the Land).

responsible authority

Explanation:
I'm tempted to offer "governing body", but that's susceptible to confusion with "board of governors".
