. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter,
the following determinations shall be made by a self-certifying
district, in the manner specified in this chapter and in accordance
with the standards governing those determinations that are adopted by
the board, for the purpose of calculating the district's eligibility
for project funding under this chapter:
(1) The total allowable building area for which the district is
eligible for project funding under this chapter.
(2) The district's area of existing adequate school construction,
including, but not limited to, the conducting of field inspections
for this purpose.
If requested by the applicant district, the board shall provide
assistance to the district in preparing the necessary documents for
self-certification pursuant to this chapter.
(b) The area determinations made by a self-certifying district
pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be certified by the district in its
application for project funding and shall be used by the board as
the basis for project funding eligibility, except to the extent of
any information that the board finds is demonstrated, pursuant to the
information certified and any other documentation available to the
board from prior project funding applications for that district, to
be materially inaccurate, regardless of whether the inaccuracy was
intended. No later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the
determinations certified pursuant to subdivision (a), the board shall
notify the district of any inaccuracies identified under this
subdivision.
(c) Each self-certifying district shall maintain documentation of
the determinations described in subdivision (a) as required by the
board. Those determinations shall be subject to subsequent audit as
the board may direct.
(d) All estimates of average daily attendance for a
self-certifying district for the purposes of this article shall be
made by the district in accordance with the standards governing those
estimates that are adopted by the board. Each determination made by
a self-certifying district pursuant to this subdivision shall be
reviewed for accuracy by the board or by the county office of
education in the county in which the district is located. In the
event that the review is performed by the board, that review shall be
completed no later than 45 calendar days subsequent to the board's
receipt from the district of all documentation necessary for that
purpose.
