11. 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 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 the 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 of the Capital Budget for 2013-2017, as previously adopted September 11, 2012.

Recommendation
That the School Board adopt the tentative district educational facilities plan as presented.
