Capacity Data: <br />There were no changes to school capacities this year for Orange County Schools. There <br />was an increase in capacity of 40 seats at the high school level within the Chapel Hill-- <br />Carrboro City Schools district as Phoenix Academy High School became an official high <br />school beginning this school year. <br />5. Capacity Issues <br />SAPFU vs. DPI <br />The SAPF~ is a local ordinance, independent of State Department of Public Instruction <br />DPI} projections and rules regarding class size. The SAPF~, for instance, does not <br />count temporary~modular classrooms as fulfilling the capacity level of service outlined in <br />the SAPF~ interlocal Memorandum of Understanding ~MOU}. The MQU 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. However, the County <br />did phase in the smaller class size in previous years that decreased capacity. Decisions <br />will have to be made if new discussions at the state level create any class size changes <br />that should or~should not be reflected in the County's SAPF4. <br />CHCCS does not exceed the adopted levels of service established in the SAPF~ at this <br />time. However, projections show potential needs at the elementary and middle school <br />levels within the 19-year planning period. Projected needs are noted below. <br />4CS does nat exceed the adopted levels of service and projections do not show a need <br />for new schools in the 19-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 2912-13 and 2918-2019 at the high school level for ACS. The <br />projections are shown on pages 36-37 of the report. <br />7. orange County Scho~ <br />CHCCS <br />Projected needs: <br />New Elementary #11 <br />New Middle School #5 <br />High School <br />vls Systems - CIP Needs Analysis <br />2013-2914 projected overage of 51 students; 196% LAS} <br />2018-2419 projected overage of 100 students; 114.5% LAS <br />projections shave na needs in the next 1o years <br />
