The land dedication requirement shall be determined in accordance with the following equation:

Number of children to be served in each school classification (computed in accordance with Figure 8-1) divided by

Maximum number of students to be served in each such school classification (as stated in subsection (b) of this section) ×

Minimum number of acres for each school site for each such school classification (as stated in subsection (b) of this section).

The result of such calculation shall be the minimum acreage of land necessary for school sites to serve the children in the subdivision or planned development.
