Draft 2009 SAPFOTAC Annual Donna Coffey, 245-2151 <br /> Report (Under Separate Cover) Shannon Berry, 245-2589 <br /> P.erdita Holtz, 245-2611 <br /> PURPOSE: To receive the 2009 Annual Report of the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee <br /> (SAPFOTAC) and transmit it to the SAPFO partners for comments before certification in May. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> 1. Annual Report; <br /> Each year the SAPFOTAC Report is updated to reflect actual changing conditions of <br /> student membership and school capacity. This information is analyzed and used to <br /> project future school construction needs based on adopted levels of service standards. <br /> There are two steps to the full report. The first part (Student Membership and Capacity) is <br /> certified in the fall and then this full report, in the spring of each year, is to keep the <br /> SAPFO system calibrated. At the December 11, 2008 Board of County Commissioners <br /> meeting, the Board approved the November 14, 2008 actual membership and capacity <br /> numbers (i.e. first part) for both Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City <br /> Schools. There were mistakes with the initial numbers submitted by OCS and the BOCC <br /> approved revised OCS membership and capacity numbers at the February 17, 2009 <br /> meeting. <br /> b <br /> A draft of the full annual SAPFOTAC Report is complete and has bee n reviewed y the <br /> SAPFOTAC members. <br /> 2. SAPFOTAC: <br /> The SAPFOTAC, comprised of representatives of both school systems and the Planning <br /> Directors of the County and Towns, is tasked to produce an annual report for the <br /> governing boards of each SAPFO partner outlining changes in actual membership, <br /> capacity, student projections, and their collective impacts on the Capital Investment <br /> Program (CIP) and the future issuance of Certificates of Adequate Public Schools <br /> (CAPS). Orange County's Planning Staff compiles the report, holds a meeting <br /> discussing the various aspects, and then prepares a draft report, which is reviewed by <br /> the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee. <br />
