State, modified to reflect focal needs as recommended by the Task Force. DPI guidelines are viewed by <br />the State as minimum space requirements, and in many functional areas, Orange County standards allow <br />for more space to provide greater flexibility to meet the educational specifications that will be developed <br />for any new high school's program of instruction. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: Receipt of this report has no direct, immediate fiscal impact. However, the Board's <br />decision at a subsequent meeting to adopt these recommendations, or a modified set of standards, will <br />significantly affect the design and construction cost of the new high school in Orange County, and any <br />other future new high school space that may be needed. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report as information <br />at this time, and provide direction to staff on modifications (if any) needed to the Task Force's <br />recommendations. The final high school construction standards would then be prepared for formal <br />adoption by the Board of Commissioners at a future regular meeting. <br />
