12 in the district. The request must meet the following criteria
13 to be considered by the committee:
14 1. The project must be deemed a critical need and must

25 proposal and existing facilities. To determine whether the
26 proposed project is a critical need, the committee or
27 subcommittee shall consider, at a mimimum, the capacity of all
28 existing facilities within the district as determined by the
29 Florida Inventory of School Houses; the district's pattern of
30 student growth; the district's existing and projected capital
