(3) When the chronological age span of
						  educable mentally retarded minors is greater than four years, the maximum class
						  size shall be 15 pupils.
(4) When
						  facilities to be constructed will include occupational therapy, physical
						  therapy, and related auxiliary spaces for orthopedically handicapped minors,
						  additional building area allowances for such spaces of up to 5,200 square feet
						  shall be made if the facility is designed for one to three classes and up to
						  7,000 square feet for four to eight classes.
(5) When facilities are to be constructed for
						  deaf-blind multihandicapped, a one-time additional building area allowance of
						  500 square feet per school will be made for the initial construction of
						  facilities.
(6) When facilities are
						  to be constructed for blind or partially seeing minors served in an integrated
						  instructional program which is housed in two or more schools, the building area
						  allowance may be allocated among the schools when approved by the Department of
						  Education. No area of instruction shall be allowed which is less than 200
						  square feet.
(7) When facilities
						  are to be provided for minors having speech defects or disorders, additional
						  building area per school is permitted. This additional area allowance is
						  limited to:
(a) 200 square feet of new
						  building area per school in schools constructed after July 1, 1968, where such
						  schools are designed to permit utilization for remedial and other special
						  services.
(b) 200 square feet of
						  new building area per school in schools constructed between July 1, 1933 and
						  July 1, 1968, where such additional area allowance is used for the construction
						  of a new speech facility.
(c)
						  Conversion of existing facilities or a combination of new construction and
						  conversion of such existing facilities to provide housing for such minors
						  having speech defects or disorders, provided the cost does not exceed the
						  computed cost for 200 square feet of new classroom construction based upon cost
						  standards adopted by the board.
(d)
						  The acquisition of mobile speech therapy facilities, provided the cost does not
						  exceed the combined computed cost for 200 square feet of new classroom
						  construction, based upon cost standards adopted by the board, at all such
						  schools which will be served by the mobile
						  facility.
