. Before the board approves an application for a furniture or
equipment project, or an application for a new construction project,
including furniture and equipment, and after consultation with the
State Department of Education, it shall establish current furniture
and equipment cost standards. Such standards shall not exceed the
quantity and quality of furniture and equipment for comparable
facilities purchased by school districts not receiving or not
eligible for an apportionment under this chapter. Such standards
shall consist of equipment costs for each type of classroom or pupil
station which represents a differential in costs. The standards shall
be reviewed quarterly by the board and adjustments made in
accordance with current cost standards. When standards have been
adopted by the board, no apportionment shall be made by the board in
excess of such standards unless a rapid increase in costs warrants an
adjustment.
Before the board approves an application for furniture and
equipment in connection with an application for the replacement of,
reconstruction of, alteration of, or addition to, a school building,
the State Department of Education, after full consideration of all
the furniture and equipment existing in the applicant district that
is in usable condition, shall recommend the amount that shall be
approved in the application. The board may approve all or a portion
of the amount so recommended.
