Notwithstanding Section 33050, the State Board of Education is authorized to waive the provisions of subdivision (a) of Section 46202 only during the 1983–84 fiscal year, and only if the State Board of Education finds that the district requesting the waiver demonstrates that it meets the following criteria:
(1) The district has experienced an unanticipated growth in number of pupils over the 1982–83 fiscal year.
(2) There exists an overcrowding of pupils with no reasonable alternative to house pupils without initiating the use of double sessions. Reasonable alternatives to house pupils shall include, but need not be limited to, the use of facilities in adjacent districts, the use of facilities of a county superintendent of schools, the use of facilities of other public agencies, the lease of portable facilities, or the expanded use of double sessions if the district already has double sessions in other schools prior to the increase in the number of pupils.
