I (32) High School OCS total increase from the previous year: 199 students 30 Elementary School 63 Middle School 106 High School ( ) denotes decrease 4. Capacity Data Capacity for Chapel Hill /Carrboro City Schools was increased by 585 students as a result of the opening of Northside Elementary School. There were no changes to school capacities this year for Orange County Schools. 5. Capacity Issues SAPFO vs. DPI The SAPFO is a local ordinance, independent of State Department of Public Instruction (DPI) projections and rules regarding class size. The SAPFO, for instance, does not count temporary modular classrooms as fulfilling the capacity level of service outlined in the SAPFO interlocal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU requires `bricks and mortar' instead of temporary facilities and also requires its own set of future student projections to identify long -term capital school construction needs. However, the County did phase in the smaller class size in previous years that decreased capacity. Decisions will have to be made if new discussions at the state level create any class size changes that should or shouldn't be reflected in the County's SAPFO. This year, CHCCS does not exceed the adopted levels of service established in the SAPFO. Projections do show potential needs at the elementary, middle, and high school levels within the 10 -year planning period. Projected needs are noted below. Additionally, OCS does not exceed the adopted levels of service established in the SAPFO at this time nor do projections show potential needs at the middle school level within the 10 -year planning period. However, projections do show a potential need at the elementary and high school level within the 10 -year planning period. Projected needs are noted below. 6. Student Projection Analysis Student membership projections show an increase at all levels in both school systems, except for a small projected decrease in 2014 -15 at the high school level for OCS. The projections are shown on pages 37 -38 of the report. 7.
