SECTION 17079-17079.30



17079.  (a) For purposes of this article, an eligible school is a
school for which the schoolsite pupil population density is equal to
or greater than 175 percent of the schoolsite pupil population
density recommended by the Superintendent as of January 1, 2006,
adjusted by the following factors:
   (1) The density calculation shall be reduced to take into account
the additional pupil capacity created by multistory construction.
   (2) The schoolsite pupil population density shall be reduced to
take into account approved new construction projects, including
projects approved pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with Section
17078.10).
   (b) The board shall adopt regulations to determine the adjustments
set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a).



17079.10.  (a) For purposes of this article, an eligible pupil is a
pupil who is housed in a portable classroom, except portable
classrooms used for purposes of the Class Size Reduction Program set
forth in Chapter 6.10 (commencing with Section 52120) of Part 28, at
an eligible school.
   (b) The board shall apportion an overcrowding relief grant to
districts on behalf of each eligible pupil equal to the appropriate
per-unhoused-pupil grant amount pursuant to Section 17072.10. The
number of overcrowding relief grants apportioned shall be subject to
the following limitations:
   (1) The number of grants apportioned on behalf of an eligible
school shall not exceed the number of pupils whose removal from the
pupil density calculation would reduce the density of the eligible
schoolsite to 150 percent of the schoolsite pupil population density
recommended by the Superintendent as of January 1, 2006.
   (2) A district shall not receive more grants than the number of
pupils housed in portable classrooms that were included in the
initial new construction eligibility determination of the district
pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 17071.75).



17079.20.  (a) The board shall require that applications for funding
pursuant to this article be used for an equivalent number of
permanent new school construction classrooms to replace the portable
classrooms upon which the determination of the number of eligible
pupils is based. The board shall also require the application to
describe how the project will relieve overcrowding at the eligible
school.
   (b) The board shall create a list of projects eligible for funding
and shall approve applications semiannually on a schedule determined
by the board.
   (c) The board shall require that applicant school districts comply
with all of the same conditions otherwise required for new
construction funding pursuant to this chapter with the exception of
subdivision (b) of Section 17071.75.
   (d) The board shall not apportion funds for a project pursuant to
this article any portion of which involves the construction,
acquisition, or transportation of portable classrooms for any school
in the school district.
   (e) In the event the funding available to the board for purposes
of this article is less than the amount necessary to fund all
eligible applications, the board shall prioritize and fund the
projects on the basis of the pupil density of the eligible schools.



17079.30.  (a) The board shall require both of the following as
conditions for receiving funding pursuant to this article:
   (1) Within six months after the date of initial occupancy of the
permanent school facilities constructed pursuant to this article, the
school district shall remove from the eligible school, and remove
from service as classrooms in the district, the portable classrooms
used for determining the number of eligible pupils.
   (2) The new school construction funding provided pursuant to this
article shall result in a reduction in the total number of portable
classrooms in the school district.
   (b) This section does not preclude the school district from using
the portable classrooms removed from eligible schools for child care
or preschool programs, if those portable classrooms are not located
at an eligible school.
   (c) This section does not apply to eligible schools operating on
double session schedules in an elementary school district in a county
of the second class, as set forth in Section 28023 of the Government
Code.
