As used in this Article:
“Conditional grant award” means the formal notification by the Capital Development Board to a school district of its conditional intent to award a grant to a school district to pay a portion of the recognized project cost for a school construction project. The grant award is conditioned upon receiving proof from the school district that it has funds available to cover the cost of the required local match.
“Grant award amount” means an amount equal to the recognized project cost determined by the Capital Development Board for a school construction project multiplied by the grant award percentage and then adjusted as may be required pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 5-15.
“Grant award percentage” means a percentage equal to one minus the required local match percentage.
“Grant index” means a figure for each school district equal to one minus the ratio of the district’s equalized assessed valuation per pupil in average daily attendance to the equalized assessed valuation per pupil in average daily attendance of the district located at the 90th percentile for all districts of the same category. This definition applies only to completed or partially completed, as determined by the Capital Development Board, school construction projects for which a grant application was filed for the 2004, 2005, or 2006 application cycle by a school district included on the State Board of Education’s 2004, 2005, or 2006 School Construction Project Application Cycle listing and only for the purpose of determining the amount of any adjustment pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 5-15 to a grant award amount for a project funded during the first application cycle opened after June 30, 2022. For the purpose of calculating the grant index, school districts are grouped into 2 categories, Category I and Category II. Category I consists of elementary and unit school districts. The equalized assessed valuation per pupil in average daily attendance of each school district in Category I shall be computed using its grades kindergarten through 8 average daily attendance figure. A unit school district’s Category I grant index shall be used for projects or portions of projects constructed for elementary school pupils. Category II consists of high school and unit school districts. The equalized assessed valuation per pupil in average daily attendance of each school district in Category II shall be computed using its grades 9 through 12 average daily attendance figure. A unit school district’s Category II grant index shall be used for projects or portions of projects constructed for high school pupils. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly apply to all grants made on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act, provided that for grants not yet made on the effective date of this amendatory Act but made in fiscal year 2001 and for grants made in fiscal year 2002, the grant index for a school district shall be the greater of (i) the grant index as calculated under this Law on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act or (ii) the grant index as calculated under this Law before the effective date of this amendatory Act. The grant index shall be no less than 0.35 and no greater than 0.75 for each district; provided that the grant index for districts whose equalized assessed valuation per pupil in average daily attendance is at the 99th percentile and above for all districts of the same type shall be 0.00.
The grant index shall be calculated for each of those school districts forming a reorganized school district or cooperative high school if one or more of the following happen within the current or prior 2 fiscal years:
(1) a new school district is created in accordance

“Recognized project cost” means the total project cost for a school construction project determined by the Capital Development Board to be taken into account in calculating the grant award amount and the required local match for a school construction project.
“Required local match” means an amount equal to the product of the recognized project cost determined by the Capital Development Board multiplied by a school district’s required local match percentage, and then adjusted as may be required pursuant to Section 5-15.

With respect to a Type 40 area vocational center cooperative, a special education cooperative, or a cooperative high school, the required local match percentage is calculated by first multiplying each cooperative member district’s average student enrollment utilized to calculate its latest Evidence-Based Funding, as defined in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code, by the respective district’s latest Local Capacity Percentage, as defined in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code, to obtain a weighted average student enrollment. Then, the required local match percentage is calculated by taking the sum of all the member districts’ weighted average student enrollment and dividing that sum by the sum of all the member districts’ average student enrollment utilized to calculate the latest Evidence-Based Funding.
