Chart Depicting Revised LOS, Capacity, <br /> Membership, and Membership Increases in <br /> Underline / Strike-thru Format <br /> PURPOSE: To consider approval of revised November 14, 2008 membership and capacity <br /> numbers for Orange County Schools (OCS) which will be used in developing 10-year student <br /> membership projections and the 2009 SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) <br /> Report. <br /> BACKGROUND: In accordance with the Schools APFO MOUs (Memorandum of <br /> Understanding), the Board of County Commissioners shall approve the School Districts <br /> November 15 membership and capacity numbers within fifteen (15) days after receiving the <br /> numbers from the School Districts. Both School Districts submitted their membership and <br /> capacity numbers for November 14, 2008, as November 15, 2008 fell on a Saturday. In <br /> accordance with the MOUs, the capacity numbers were approved by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners at the December 11, 2008 BOCC meeting. <br /> During the process of calculating future student membership projections, it was determined <br /> there appeared to be an error in the membership numbers submitted by OCS on the School <br /> APFO Capacity, Membership and Change Request Forms. OCS verified the previously <br /> submitted membership counts were higher than actual membership and submitted corrected <br /> reporting forms at the end of January (see Attachment 1). <br /> The chart in Attachment 2 shows the correct capacity and membership for each school level in <br /> both school districts and the increase (or decrease) over the November 15, 2007 membership. <br /> It also shows the allowable maximum Level of Service (LOS) as was agreed upon as part of the <br /> SAPFO MOU process and the actual LOS based on the correct November 14, 2008 <br /> • <br />
