Capacity Data <br /> High School capacity for Orange County Schools was increased by 500 students due to <br /> the Cedar Ridge High School addition. There were no changes to school capacities this <br /> year for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools. <br /> 5. Capacity Information <br /> SAPFO vs. DPI <br /> The SAPFO is a local ordinance, independent of State Department of Public Instruction <br /> (DPI) projections and rules regarding class size. The SAPFO, for instance, does not <br /> count temporary modular classrooms as fulfilling the capacity level of service outlined in <br /> the SAPFO interlocal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU requires `bricks <br /> and mortar' instead of temporary facilities and also requires its own set of future student <br /> projections to identify long-term capital school construction needs. However, the County <br /> did phase in the smaller class size mandates in previous years that decreased capacity. <br /> Decisions will have to be made if new discussions at the state level create any class size <br /> changes that should or should not be reflected in the County's SAPFO. Future decisions <br /> would reflect the timing and impact of new state legislation. <br /> 6.
