BACKGROUND: In accordance with Orange County's Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO), each year both school districts certify their November 15 actual student membership and school capacities for Board of Commissioner approval. At the January 24, 2006 BOCC meeting, the Board approved the November 15, 2005 actual student membership and previously adopted capacity numbers far both Orange County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS). In conjunction with those certifications, the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) is tasked to produce an annual report for the governing boards of each SAPFO partner outlining changes in actual membership, capacity, student projections, and their collective impacts on the future issuance of Certificates of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS). The SAPFOTAC is comprised of representatives of both school systems and the Planning Directors of the County and Towns. Orange County's Planning Staff compiles the information for the report, convenes a meeting of SAPFOTAC representatives to discuss various aspects, and then prepares a draft report that is reviewed by the SAPFOTAC. A draft of the 2006 SAPFOTAC Report has been completed, has been reviewed by the SAPFOTAC members, and is provided under separate cover to this abstract, The draft SAPFOTAC report has been posted on the Orange County Planning Department's web site (http://www.co.orange.nc.us/glanning/index.htm) along with larger-sized student projection spreadsheets that are easier to read than the size contained within the report. A letter and the Executive Summary of the report will be sent to all SAPFO partners after this April 10 BOCC meeting advising them of the availability of the draft report and inviting comment. Staff anticipate that the draft SAPFOTAC report will be brought back to the BOCC for certification at the May 16, 2006 regular meeting..
