Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) In addition to
						  any other funding authorized by these Regulations, the Board shall provide
						  funding for the amount(s) in (b) below for the replacement cost of single-story
						  building(s) that are demolished at a school and replaced with multistory
						  building(s) in order to increase pupil capacity of that school if all the
						  following conditions are met:
(1) The site
						  size as determined by the CDE for the existing capacity of the school is less
						  than 75 percent of the recommended CDE site size.
(2) The pupil capacity of the school must be
						  increased by at least the greater of (A) or (B) below:
(A) Twenty percent of the existing permanent
						  single-story pupil capacity (before replacement) of the school. Existing
						  permanent single-story pupil capacity shall be determined by multiplying
						  classrooms contained within single-story permanent buildings intended for
						  grades kindergarten through six by 25, classrooms intended for grades seven
						  through 12 by 27, classrooms intended for Non-Severely Disabled Individuals
						  with Exceptional Needs by 13 and classrooms intended for Severely Disabled
						  Individuals with Exceptional Needs by nine. Classrooms shall not include any
						  classrooms reduced from the Gross Classroom Inventory pursuant to Section
						  1859.32.
(B) 200 pupils.
(3) The sum of (A) and (B) below is less than
						  the sum of (E) and (F) below:
(A) Determine
						  the estimated cost of demolition of the single-story building(s) to be
						  replaced. The cost estimate shall be subject to review by the OPSC for
						  conformance with the Current Construction Costs publication by the Sierra West
						  Group.
(B) Multiply the total
						  square footage of the proposed multistory replacement building(s) by the
						  Current Replacement Cost.
(C)
						  Multiply the pupil capacity as determined in (a)(2) by .01775 for K-6, .021 for
						  7-8 and .02472 for 9-12. For purposes of this calculation, assign Severely
						  Disabled Individuals with Exceptional Needs and Non-Severely Disabled
						  Individuals with Exceptional Needs pupil grants requested on Form SAB 50-04 as
						  either K-6, 7-8 or 9-12 based on the type of project selected by the district
						  on Form SAB 50-04.
(D) Determine
						  the average value of land per acre as follows:
1. Previous actual site acquisition costs
						  within the district's boundaries. If unable to reference prior OPSC-reviewed
						  and approved projects at the time of application submittal, the district should
						  submit documentation for review that complies with Section
						  1859.74.
2. Applications submitted with a separate
						  certification letter, signed by the authorized district representative,
						  certifying there are no site acquisitions as required in 1. above, must use one
						  of the following calculation methods:
a. A
						  complete appraisal or a preliminary appraisal of property in the General
						  Location of the school site made or updated within six months from the Approved
						  Application submittal date to the OPSC, using the guidelines outlined in
						  Section 1859.74.1. The preliminary
						  appraisal may be made without access to the property.
b. The Median Cost of an acre of land in the
						  General Location of the school site using historical information from the
						  General Location. Historical information that may be considered to determine
						  land cost shall include prior real estate sales consummated and documented by
						  the county recorder or pending real estate sales documented by a title
						  insurance company's escrow instructions. For purposes of historical
						  information, include all real estate sales consummated and documented by the
						  county recorder for a minimum of six months and a maximum of up to two years
						  prior to the date the Approved Application was submitted to the OPSC.
						  Relocation expenses, for this method, will be calculated based upon OPSC
						  historical data.
(E) Multiply the sums of the products
						  determined in (C) above by the average value of land per acre determined in (D)
						  above.
(F) Multiply the square
						  footage of this single-story building(s) to be replaced by the Current
						  Replacement Cost, then subtract this product from the amount determined in
						  (a)(3)(B) above.
(4) The
						  CDE has determined that the replacement of the single-story building(s) on the
						  existing site with multistory building(s) would be the best available
						  alternative and will not create a school with an inappropriate number of pupils
						  in relation to the size of the site.
(5) The single-story building(s) to be
						  replaced on the existing site may not be leased facilities and/or classrooms
						  excluded pursuant to Education Code Section
						  17071.30(b).
						  Portable classrooms that were included in the classroom capacity as identified
						  on Line 1, Part III, of the Form SAB 50-02 may be replaced.
(6) With the exception of portables acquired
						  with Class Size Reduction funds, the single-story building(s) to be replaced on
						  the site may not have been funded for either new construction or modernization
						  with funds from Proposition 1A or subsequent SFP bonds.
