ECONOMICALLY BENEFICIAL TO RENOVATE AN EXISTING SCHOOL
BUILDING THAT, IN WHOLE OR PART, HAS BEEN IN CONTINUOUS
EDUCATIONAL USE FOR 40 YEARS OR MORE AND THE COST OF THE
PROPOSED RENOVATION WORK IS NOT MORE THAN THE REPLACEMENT
COST OF THE BUILDING OR PART OF A BUILDING OF THE SAME AREA
AND PURPOSE, THE INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL
CONSTRUCTION AND THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS SHALL CONSIDER A
REQUEST FOR STATE FUNDING ON THE BASIS OF THESE FINDINGS.
