A. A school
district may use Class A bonds to supplement any project funded by the Board
under A.R.S. §
41-5741. under A.R.S. §
41-5702(H), when
a school district adds square footage to the district through the construction
of a new school facility using Class A bonds, the Board shall not provide
funding to supplement construction of the new school facility.
B. When a school district adds square footage
to the district through the construction of a new school facility using Class B
bonds or other funds, the Board shall not include the square footage of the new
school facility in the net square footage of the school district for
determining need for additional square footage under A.R.S. §
§
41-5711 and
41-5741.
C. When a school district adds square footage
to the district through the construction of a new school facility using Class A
bonds, the Board shall include the square footage of the new school facility in
the net square footage of the school district for determining need for
additional square footage under A.R.S. §
§
41-5711 and
41-5741.
D. If a school district uses Class B bonds
and/or other funds to add or replace square footage at existing school
facilities, the Board shall treat the additional square footage or replacement
square footage as follows:
1. If square
footage is added to an existing school facility using Class B bonds or other
funds, the Board will not include the additional square footage in determining
minimum adequate square footage under A.R.S. §
41-5711(C), but
the Board will include the additional square footage in determining adequacy of
the functional components of the school facility as specified in Article 2.
2. A school district that both
removes and adds square footage with the use of Class B bonds or unrestricted
capital outlay monies shall not have the net additional square footage,
included in the determination of minimum adequate square footage pursuant to
A.R.S. §
15-2011(C), but
the School Facilities Board shall consider the net additional square footage
for purposes of determining adequacy of the functional components of the school
as specified in the Minimum School Facilities Guidelines set forth in
R7-6-201 through
R7-6-285
3. For purposes of calculating
building renewal pursuant to A.R.S. §
15-2031, replacement square
footage constructed with Class B bonds or unrestricted capital outlay monies
shall be included, but net additional square footage shall be
excluded.
4.2. If a portion of the
square footage at an existing school facility is replaced using Class B bonds
or other funds, the Board will determine the student capacity of the completed
school facility in the same manner as student capacity would have been
determined before the replacement. If Class B bonds or other funds are used to
construct a complete replacement school facility, the Board will determine the
student capacity of the completed school facility based on the provisions of
A.R.S. §
41-5711(C).
5.3. For
purposes of this Section, replacement square footage means square footage
constructed with Class B bonds or other funds that replaces existing square
footage.
E. If square
footage is added to or replaced at an existing school facility using Class A
bonds, the school district shall determine the student capacity of the facility
after the project is completed using the same procedure the school district
would have used before the addition or replacement.
F.
The method of computing the funding and square
footage for any expansion of a core facility previously funded by the School
Facilities Board shall follow the same method that was used for computing the
original core facility.
