17040.9
. (a) (1) The board shall allocate the amount calculated
under subdivision (b), in addition to any other project funding
authorized under this chapter, to each project funded under this
chapter for which the resulting pupil density will exceed the
following:
(A) For a project for kindergarten or any of the grades 1 to 6,
inclusive, 90 pupils per acre.
(B) For a project for a junior high school project, 80 pupils per
acre.
(C) For a project for a senior high school project, 70 pupils per
acre.
(2) For any new construction project, pupil density shall be
computed, for purposes of paragraph (1), by dividing the number of
units of estimated average daily attendance for the project,
including those to be served by relocatable structures, by the
acreage of the project site.
(3) For any project for the construction of additional facility
space on an existing schoolsite or on land acquired that is adjacent
to an existing schoolsite, pupil density shall be computed, for
purposes of paragraph (1), by adding the number of units of estimated
average daily attendance for the project to the number of units of
average daily attendance for the existing school facilities, and
dividing that sum by the total site acreage for the project and the
existing school facilities.
(b) The supplemental project funding authorized under this section
shall be calculated by dividing the actual pupil density for the
project, as calculated under subdivision (a), by the threshold pupil
density for the project as set forth in that subdivision, and
multiplying the resulting fraction by an amount equal to the average
cost per acre of the land approved for acquisition by the board under
this chapter for the project, or that would have been approved for
acquisition if the applicant school district had not had an existing
schoolsite available for the project.
