Open Agenda
Adopt the revisions to School Board Policy 7000, Superintendent?s School Site Review Committee at this Final Reading.
School Board Policy 7000 governs the process to identify and recommend the selection of site(s) needed for new/replacement school(s). In general, changes proposed to the Policy are primarily to do the following:
* Delineate specific data sources that shall be relied upon to ascertain the need for new/replacement school site(s).
* Reconstitute the composition of the Committee by reducing the number of District and Broward County staff on the Committee, increasing community membership on the Committee from four (4) to five (5) members via the addition of one representative from the Parent Teachers Association (PTA)/Parent Teachers Organization (PTO); adding a licensed real estate broker/sales person and a licensed appraiser to the Committee. To address potential conflicts, the Policy requires that both individuals shall be current employees of Broward County government; and adding a representative designated by either (a) manager or administrator of the municipality in which the subject school site may be located or (b) by the county administrator if the subject school site is located in the unincorporated areas of Broward County.
* Require that upon completion of due diligence processes, a school site that was previously acquired to construct a new/replacement school, and determined to be no longer needed for educational purposes and should be disposed, be scheduled before the Committee to enable it to review data pertaining to such property, discuss the matter, and make recommendation to the Superintendent to either dispose or retain the school site.
* To assure compliance with Section 112.313 (3), Florida Statutes, require that School Board members, staff involved with any active purchase or disposal of real property, and members of the Committee must disclose any direct or indirect business associations they, their spouses, or children have with any party involved with any real estate purchase and disposal.
The revisions were discussed at the December 10, 2013 School Board workshop, February 13, 2014 public rule development meeting, a second School Board workshop on March 11, 2014, and a final adoption at this May 6, 2014 Regular School Board Meeting. Additionally, the Policy changes were advertised on March 23, 2014.
The revised Policy has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
There is no financial impact to the School District; therefore, this item does not require a Collaboration Form from the Capital Budget Department.
