Since November 15th occurred on a Saturday this year, membership <br />and capacity forms were updated based on Friday, November 14th membership and capacity <br />numbers. Both Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill- Canrboro City Schools submitted their <br />membership and capacity numbers in accordance with the MOUs. As per the MOUs, this step <br />of the SAPFO process entails only the approval of the student membership and capacity <br />numbers. <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 governing <br />boards of each Schools APFO partner. The full annual SAPFOTAC report, which will include <br />10 -Year student membership projections, will be completed in early 2015. The CAPS <br />(Certificate of Adequate Public Schools) system is updated with actual membership and <br />capacity figures after the BOCC approves the information submitted by the school districts. <br />The chart in Attachment 2 shows the Capacity and Membership for each school level in both <br />school districts and the increase (or decrease) over the November 15, 2013 membership.
