Open Agenda
Adopt the proposed revisions to School Board Growth Management Policy 1161 at this final reading.
On December 15, 2009, the School Board approved Agenda Item No. J-27, which authorized the formal initiation of proposed amendments to the Amended Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning (ILA). The proposed amendments were twofold: 1. To change the Level of Service Standard (LOS) from 110% permanent FISH capacity to 100% gross capacity (to enable the use of relocatables) from school year 2010/11, and sunset the use of relocatables in school year 2018/19, while retaining the concurrency service areas (CSA’s) as individual school boundaries; and 2. To include amendments proposed by the Staff Working Group (SWG) to address pertinent timeframes and processes in the Amended ILA. The proposed amendments were codified in the Second Amended ILA.
As required by provisions of the Amended ILA, the Second Amended ILA was approved by the School Board, Broward County and 22 municipal signatories to the Agreement, and transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for review and determination of whether the amendments met the requirements of state statutes. In a letter dated August 4, 2010, the DCA notified the School Board, Broward County and the 22 municipalities of its intent to find the Second Amended ILA consistent with the minimum requirements of state statutes. The DCA also advised that the intent would be published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on August 13, 2010, and as defined by state statutes any affected parties have 21 days to challenge the DCA’s findings. If no challenge is filed within the designated timeframe, the DCA’s findings become final.
School Board Policy 1161 must be changed to enable the District to implement the provisions contained in the Second Amended ILA, hence the proposed revisions to the Policy. A Summary of the proposed revisions to the Policy is articulated in Exhibit 2. The revisions before the Board were generated by staff in coordination with School Board Cadre Attorney Alan Gabriel, and the Board Item including the amendments were subsequently reviewed by Mr. Gabriel and approved as to form and legal content by the School Board Attorney. Therefore, it is recommended that the School Board should adopt the revisions to the Policy at this final reading.
There is no financial impact to the school district. This item does not require a collaboration form from the Capital Budget Department.
