Section 198:15-h Use of Existing Buildings.
The building aid provided in RSA 198:15-b for a receiving district operating an area school as defined in RSA 195-A:1, or some proportionate part of that building aid, may be made available to assist in defraying the cost of construction of a new school building or an addition to existing buildings of the receiving district which is not to be used as an area school, but which is to be constructed so that the receiving district may make available as an area school building the full or partial capacity of an existing school building. The department of education may extend the building aid in the circumstances set forth in this section when it finds that (a) such arrangement will result in savings in overall building cost to the state, and that (b) the existing building thus made available by the receiving district as an area school is satisfactory for the purpose. In all other respects the provisions of RSA 198:15-b apply to the alternate building aid, as if the new building were an area school for the number of sending districts in the area plan.
