It seems to me that this is similar to an earlier discussion on this credit about "graphic arts coatings," so I'd recommend you review that.If you're following SCAQMD, there's always the "other' category. Either way, seems like the <100 g/L paint should work.

Also remember that due to CA 01350 being the compliance path called out in LEED for Schools, a paint product can show compliance by being low-emitting and not just having low VOC content. Just a note, that in the future (LEED 2012) they may be requiring Paints & Coatings and Adhesives & Sealants to have both low VOC content and be low-emitting.
