SAPFO Partners Transmittal Letter Shannon Berry, 245-2589 <br />2. Draft 2010 SAPFOTAC Annual Craig Benedict, 245-2592 <br />Report (Under Separate Cover) <br />PURPOSE: To receive the 2010 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) <br />is 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 7, 2009 Board of County Commissioners <br />meeting, the Board approved the November 13, 2009 actual membership and capacity <br />numbers (i.e. first part) for both Orange County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br />City Schools (CHCCS). <br />A draft of the full annual SAPFOTAC Report is complete and has been reviewed by 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 />
