Capacity Data: <br />There were no changes to school capacities this year for either Orange County Schools <br />or Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. <br />5. Capacity Issues <br />SAPFO vs. DPI <br />The SAPFO is a local ordinance, independent of State Department of Public Instruction <br />(DPI) projections and rules regarding class size. The SAPFO, for instance, does not <br />count temporary modular classrooms as fulfilling the capacity level of service outlined in <br />the SAPFO interlocal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU requires `bricks <br />and mortar' instead of temporary facilities and also requires its own set of future student <br />projections to identify long-term capital school construction needs. <br />CHCCS does not exceed the adopted levels of service established in the SAPFO at this <br />time. However, projections show potential needs at all school levels within the 10-year <br />planning period. Projected needs are noted below. <br />OCS does not exceed the adopted levels of service and projections do not show a need <br />for new schools in the 10-year planning period. <br />6. Student Projection Analysis <br />Student membership projections show an increase at all levels in both school systems, <br />except for slight drops in 2015 through 2017 at the Middle School level and 2018-2019 at <br />the High School level for OCS. The projections are shown on pages 36-37 of the report. <br />7.

Because the City of Mebane is not a party to the SAPFO at this time, <br />
