339     program in the same fiscal year.
340          (2) (a) Upon application by a local school board, the state board shall, in consultation
341     with the local school board, classify schools in the school district as necessarily existent small
342     schools, in accordance with this section and state board rules adopted under Subsection (3).
343          (b) An application must be submitted to the state board before April 2, and the state

346     Chapter 3, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act, to:
347          (a) govern the approval of necessarily existent small schools consistent with principles
348     of efficiency and economy that serve the purpose of eliminating schools where consolidation is
349     feasible by participation in special school units; and
350          (b) ensure that school districts are not building secondary schools in close proximity to
351     one another where economy and efficiency would be better served by one school meeting the
352     needs of secondary students in a designated geographical area.

354     determining which small schools are necessarily existent after consultation with local school

372          (f) The state board shall prepare and distribute an allocation table based on the
373     distribution formula to each school district.
374          (6) (a) To avoid penalizing a school district financially for consolidating the school
375     district's small schools, additional weighted pupil units may be allowed a school district each
376     year, not to exceed two years.
377          (b) The additional weighted pupil units may not exceed the difference between what
378     the school district receives for a consolidated school and what the school district would have
