From the Standard VOC Limits chart from SCAQMD, which column is the most current limit to be using? For example, if I have a "Primer, Sealer, Undercoater," and it's Ceiling Limit is stated as 350g/L, Effective Date 1/1/03 is stated as 200g/L, and Effective Date 7/1/06 is 100g/L, which is the max. VOC content that i should be judging by to be compliant for this credit?

You follow the date given by the LEED Reference Guide that your project is following. If the Reference Guide say SCAQMD as modified on 1/1/03 then you do not follow the VOC guide listed in 7/1/06. If SCAQMD does not modify the category on 1/1/03 then you move to the older reference (scan left in the chart) and use that limit.

To further confuse things Addenda was released on 4/14/2010 and then updated 11/3/2010 that replaces Table 1. The new table is much easier to understand, though some categories that were in the old table are no longer in the new table.

Where is the new Table 1 for VOC limits that is noted by John above and is it the current limits we should be working with for LEED Schools 2009 projects?
