Draft 2015 SAPFOTAC Annual Report Craig Benedict, 919 - 245 -2592 <br />and Larger Scale Projection <br />Worksheets <br />PURPOSE: To receive the 2015 Annual Report of the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee <br />( SAPFOTAC) and transmit it to the SAPFO partners for comments before certification in May. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />1. Annual Report <br />Each year, since 2004, the SAPFOTAC Report is updated to reflect actual changing <br />conditions of student membership and school capacity. This information is analyzed and <br />used to project future school construction needs based on adopted levels of service <br />standards. There are two steps to the full report. The first part (Student Membership and <br />Capacity) is certified in the fall and then this full report, in the following spring, is to keep <br />the SAPFO system calibrated. At the December 1, 2014 Board of County Commissioners <br />meeting, the Board approved the November 14, 2014 actual membership and capacity <br />numbers (i.e. first part) for both Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill - Carrboro City <br />Schools. <br />A draft of the full annual SAPFOTAC Report is complete and has been reviewed by the <br />SAPFOTAC members. <br />2. SAPFOTAC <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 <br />governing boards of each SAPFO partner outlining changes in actual membership, <br />capacity, student projections, and their collective impacts on the Capital Investment <br />Program (CIP) and the future issuance of Certificates of Adequate Public Schools <br />(CAPS). Orange County's Planning Staff compiles the report, holds a meeting discussing <br />the various aspects, and then prepares a draft report, which is reviewed by the SAPFO <br />Technical Advisory Committee. <br />
