French General Code of Local Authorities
In forceThe share of the departmental equipment grant for collèges allocated to all the departments in each region is determined each year in such a way as to take into account, up to 70%, the capacity of the establishments and, up to 30%, changes in the school-age population.
The 70% intended to take account of the capacity of the establishments is distributed as follows:
1° 30%, in proportion to the total developed surface area of public colleges;
2° 15%, in proportion to the total developed surface area of public colleges built before 1973;
3° 5%, in proportion to the surface area of mobile classrooms;
4° 20%, in proportion to the number of pupils in public colleges.
The 30% intended to take account of changes in the school-age population is allocated as follows:
1° 25%, in proportion to the number of births recorded in the region between the seventh and fourth years preceding the year in which the allocation is granted;
2° 5%, in proportion to the number of pupils in public secondary schools and the total floor area of these secondary schools.
The 5% share allocated on the basis of the ratio defined in 2° of the previous paragraph is distributed, between all the départements in each region where this ratio exceeds the ratio of the same terms calculated at national level, in proportion to the difference between the ratio recorded in the region and the national ratio.
