Take the lesser of the number determined under subparagraph ix and the number determined under subparagraph x to obtain the top-up amount for school operations for the elementary school. However, if the number determined under subparagraph x is zero or a negative number or if the number determined under subparagraph i is zero, the top-up amount for school operations for the elementary school is zero. 17. Total the top-up amounts determined under paragraph 16 for each elementary school of the board. 18. Identify the elementary schools of the board that are distant elementary schools of the board within the meaning of subsection 29 (2.1) of the 2003-2004 grant regulation, but that are neither rural elementary schools nor outlying elementary schools. 19. For each elementary school identified under paragraph 18, subtract the amount determined under paragraph 15 of subsection 37 (3) of the 2003-2004 grant regulation from the amount determined under paragraph 16.1 of that subsection of that regulation.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph 3 of subsection (1), the Minister shall approve a supplementary elementary school area factor for a board that the Minister considers appropriate in order to make allowance for any disproportionate space needs that are particular to the board and that are caused by, (a) the fact that the board is operating a school that can reasonably be considered to be too large for the community it serves, whether because of declining enrolment or for some other reason; (b) the fact that the board is operating a school in a building, the physical characteristics of which can reasonably be considered to be neither compatible with nor easily modified to conform to the benchmark area requirements referred to in subsection (1); (c) the fact that the board has disproportionately high space requirements because the board serves a disproportionately high number of pupils in special education programs or in other education programs with high space requirements; or (d) other circumstances approved by the Minister. O. Reg. 85/08, s. 46 (2). (3) In determining an amount for the purposes of subsection (2), the Minister shall have regard to the effect of the circumstances referred to in clauses (2) (a) to (d) on the board’s space needs. O.
