Section 1859.92 - Priority Points For New Construction Projects

This Regulation shall only apply to Approved Applications for New Construction Grants funded with the proceeds of state bonds approved by the voters prior to January 1, 2002.

The priority points allowed for a New Construction Grants request shall be based on the following computations rounded up to the nearest whole number. The computation shall be made on a districtwide basis if the district utilized districtwide CBEDS enrollment data reported on the Form SAB 50-01 in effect at the time the district's application for funding was submitted to the OPSC for the project. When multiple applications have the same Approved Application date, or have an Approved Application date which permits the projects to be Ready for Apportionment in the same quarter when priority points are implemented as provided in Section 1859.91, the priority order shall be as requested by the district on the Form SAB 50-04. The computation shall be made on a HSAA or Super HSAA basis if the district utilized HSAA or Super HSAA CBEDS enrollment data reported on the Form SAB 50-01 in effect at the time the district's application for funding was submitted to the OPSC for the project. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1859.41, a district that has previously reported its enrollment on a HSAA or Super HSAA basis may calculate both its eligibility and its priority points on a districtwide basis. A project shall receive priority points based on the total of (a), (b) and (c):

(a) Priority points for the percent of unhoused pupils for both of the following:
(1) Six points for each percent of current unhoused pupils.
(2) Four points for each percent of projected unhoused pupils.
(b) Priority points for the number of unhoused pupils for both of the following:
(1) One point for each 100 currently unhoused pupils.
(2) One point for each 200 projected unhoused pupils.
(c) A maximum of 100 priority points for the following:
(1) Twenty points if the district's CBEDS enrollment at the time of application submittal to the OPSC for funding is less than 2,501.
(2) Twenty points for a County Superintendent of Schools' project that only includes classroom space solely for Non-Severely Disabled Individuals with Exceptional Needs.
(3) Twenty points if the site acreage for the project is less than 50 percent of the site size recommended by the CDE for the master planned pupil capacity.
(4) Twenty points for a project that either used "stock plans" pursuant to Education Code Section 17070.33(b)(6) or re-used plans that were previously used to construct at least two other schools.
(5) Twenty points if the district's CBEDS enrollment at the time of application submittal to the OPSC for funding is less than 301.
(6) Twenty points for a project that uses 20 percent less energy than the Energy Budget as defined and calculated in a manner consistent with the California Energy Code, Part 6, Subchapter 5, Section 141 -- Performance Approach: Energy Budgets.
(7) Twenty points for a project that is a new high school serving any grades nine through twelve.
(8) Twenty points for a project that received financial hardship assistance pursuant to Section 1859.81.
(9) Twenty points for a project where the site acquisition qualified and received an apportionment authorized under Section 1859.75.1, Separate Site Apportionment for Environmental Hardship.
(10) One hundred points if the Approved Application was accepted prior to the date the priority point mechanism is implemented by the Board pursuant to Section 1859.91(a)(1) or (a)(2).
(d) The calculation of priority points in (a), (b) and (c) above shall be determined at the time the Approved Application is accepted.
(e) The following projects are exempt from priority points:
(1) A project that received Facility Hardship approval pursuant to Section 1859.82.
(2) A county superintendent of schools' project that includes classroom space for Severely Disabled Individuals with Exceptional Needs.
(3) A county superintendent of schools' project that only includes classroom space solely for community school pupils.
(4) A school district's project that only includes classroom space solely for Severely Disabled Individuals with Exceptional Needs.
(f) If the project received a separate site and/or design apportionment under the provisions of the LPP or pursuant to Sections 1859.75.1 or 1859.81.1, the district's funding priority of the project shall be determined by the Approved Application date for the New Construction Adjusted Grant or separate site funding request filed pursuant to Section 1859.81.1(a) or 1859.75.1. If separate site funding requests have been submitted, the funding priority of the project shall be determined by the CBEDS enrollment data utilized for those applications.
