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 7, 2015 Board of County Commissioners <br /> meeting, the Board approved the November 13, 2015 actual membership and capacity <br /> numbers (i.e. first part) for both Orange County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> City Schools (CHCCS). <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 Plan <br /> (CIP) and the future issuance of Certificates of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS). <br /> Orange County's Planning Staff compiles the report, holds a meeting discussing the <br /> various aspects, and then prepares a draft report, which is reviewed by the SAPFO <br /> Technical Advisory Committee. <br />
