Attachment 2 <br />4 <br />Date: April 1, 2010 <br />To: Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning Director ~/~ / <br />From: Todd LoFrese, A~sistant Superintendent for.Support Services ~ 1,,,/ <br />Re: SAPFOTAC Draft Annual Report Comments <br />On March 1 S, 2010, administration presented the draft SAPFOTAC annual report to the Board <br />on work session at their regular Board of Education meeting. As requested, Board members <br />shared their thoughts and feedback with respect to the draft report. A summary of that feedback <br />is contained below. <br />First and foremost, Board members expressed concern about the projected need for Elementary <br />#11. According to the SAPFO calculations, this school is needed beginning in the 2012-2013 <br />school year. To open school that fall, will require us to begin the deconstruction and recycling <br />process later this summer. Furthermore, to allow time far bidding purposes and to provide <br />adequate notice to the Community School for People Under Six {currently residing onsite), we <br />would need to know if the project is funded later this spring. Board members also expressed that <br />CAPS requests may need to be denied if our enrollment continues to grow and adequate space, <br />as determined by SAPFO, is exceeded. <br />Board members also expressed concern with the process for updaring student generation rates. <br />This concern is echoed by district administration. As you know the recently approved updated <br />student generation rates will not go into effect until the November ~15, 2010 system update. This <br />is well after the 2007 TischlerBise report that developed the recommended changes. It was felt <br />that this process was too long and that recently approved developments have had a greater <br />impact on student populations than is currently being calculated during the CAPS process. <br />Board members and administration recommend that future studies recommendations be <br />circulated to the respective SAPFO partners more quickly to allow for timelier implementation. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks to both you and Shannon for leading <br />this process. <br />CC: N.
