Agenda Item #10
Title
ADOPTION OF TENTATIVE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES PLAN
Description
Section 1013.35, Florida Statutes, establishes a series of facility planning actions with which all Florida School Boards must comply. Already, staff has completed the Department of Education's on-line planning tool, submitted it to all local governments for review of Comprehensive Plan consistency, and submitted the tentative plan to DOE by the October 1 deadline. The School Board is now asked to adopt the plan, which does comply with the financial feasibility requirement. The first section replicates the revenues and projects in the Board's recently-adopted five-year capital budget; the first year of this section constitutes the capital outlay budget as required in s. 1013.61, F.S. Spreadsheets in the second section denote projects planned in years 2016-2020 to accommodate the Capital Outlay FTE projected by the state. Spreadsheets in the final section denote projects planned in years 2021-2030 to accommodate the projected COFTE. The reader should use caution when interpreting this document as much of the data elements (e.g., remaining revenues, class size, school enrollments, total enrollments, future costs) are misleading due to the spreadsheets' design. Also, the Board's adoption of this document does not compel any action past the implementation of the Capital Budget for 2011-2015, as previously adopted September 14, 2010.
Recommendation
That the School Board adopt the tentative district educational facilities plan as presented.
