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. Long Range Planning staff and Budget staff have completed the Department of Education's on-line planning tool and have submitted the draft plan to all local governments for review of Comprehensive Plan consistency. 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 a capital outlay budget as required in s. 1013.61, F.S. The Long Range Planning section replicates the current Plant Survey. The reader should use caution when interpreting this document as some data elements (e.g., class size, school enrollments, total enrollments, future costs) are misleading due to the spreadsheet design. Also, the Board's adoption of this document does not compel any action past the implementation the Capital Budget for 2015-2019, as previously adopted September 16, 2014.
Recommendation
That the School Board adopt the tentative district educational facilities plans as presented.
