| district in Category I
shall be computed using its grades | 11 |
| kindergarten through 8 average daily
attendance figure. A unit | 12 |
| school district's Category I grant index shall be
used
for | 13 |
| projects or portions of projects constructed for elementary | 14 |
| school
pupils. Category II consists of high school and unit | 15 |
| school districts. The
equalized assessed valuation per pupil in | 16 |
| average daily attendance of
each school district in Category II | 17 |
| shall be computed using its grades 9
through 12 average daily | 18 |
| attendance figure. A unit school district's Category
II
grant | 19 |
| index shall be used for projects or portions of projects | 20 |
| constructed
