  1 11 unique opportunity to students and communities,
  1 12 providing for multigenerational attendance, high

  1 17 preservation grant program is therefore established to

  1 19 preservation of one-room and two-room buildings once
  1 20 used as country schools.  In developing grant approval
  1 21 criteria, the division shall place a priority on the
  1 22 educational uses planned for the country school
  1 23 building, which may include, but are not limited to,
  1 24 historical interpretation and use as a teaching museum
  1 25 or as an operational classroom accessible to a school
  1 26 district or accredited nonpublic school for
  1 27 provisional instructional purposes.
  1 28    c.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
  1 29 section, the amount of a grant shall not exceed
  1 30 twenty-five thousand dollars and applicants shall
  1 31 match grant funding on a dollar-for-dollar basis, of
  1 32 which at least one-half of the local match must be in
  1 33 cash."
