   10  1.5 mills is insufficient to meet the payments due under a
   11  lease-purchase agreement entered into before June 30, 2009, by a
   12  district school board pursuant to paragraph (2)(e), or to meet
   13  other critical district fixed capital outlay needs, the board,
   14  in addition to the 2.0 1.5 mills, may levy up to 0.25 mills for
   15  fixed capital outlay in lieu of levying an equivalent amount of
   16  the discretionary mills for operations as provided in the
   17  General Appropriations Act. Millage levied pursuant to this
   18  subsection is subject to the provisions of s. 200.065 and,
   19  combined with the 2.0 1.5 mills authorized in subsection (2),
   20  may not exceed 2.25 1.75 mills. If the district chooses to use
   21  up to 0.25 mills for fixed capital outlay, the compression
   22  adjustment pursuant to s. 1011.62(5) shall be calculated for the
   23  standard discretionary millage that is not eligible for transfer
   24  to capital outlay.
