Section R7-6-301 - Square Footage Calculations

A. A school district may use Class A bonds to supplement any project funded by the Board under A.R.S. § 41-5741. under A.R.S. § 41-5702(H), when a school district adds square footage to the district through the construction of a new school facility using Class A bonds, the Board shall not provide funding to supplement construction of the new school facility.

B. When a school district adds square footage to the district through the construction of a new school facility using Class B bonds or other funds, the Board shall not include the square footage of the new school facility in the net square footage of the school district for determining need for additional square footage under A.R.S. § § 41-5711 and 41-5741.

C. When a school district adds square footage to the district through the construction of a new school facility using Class A bonds, the Board shall include the square footage of the new school facility in the net square footage of the school district for determining need for additional square footage under A.R.S. § § 41-5711 and 41-5741.

D. If a school district uses Class B bonds and/or other funds to add or replace square footage at existing school facilities, the Board shall treat the additional square footage or replacement square footage as follows:

1. If square footage is added to an existing school facility using Class B bonds or other funds, the Board will not include the additional square footage in determining minimum adequate square footage under A.R.S. § 41-5711(C), but the Board will include the additional square footage in determining adequacy of the functional components of the school facility as specified in Article 2.

2. If a portion of the square footage at an existing school facility is replaced using Class B bonds or other funds, the Board will determine the student capacity of the completed school facility in the same manner as student capacity would have been determined before the replacement. If Class B bonds or other funds are used to construct a complete replacement school facility, the Board will determine the student capacity of the completed school facility based on the provisions of A.R.S. § 41-5711(C).

3. For purposes of this Section, replacement square footage means square footage constructed with Class B bonds or other funds that replaces existing square footage.

E. If square footage is added to or replaced at an existing school facility using Class A bonds, the school district shall determine the student capacity of the facility after the project is completed using the same procedure the school district would have used before the addition or replacement.
