f. Jean: What are the numbers currently for capacity? <br />i. Eric: we’ve been tracking those and can share them <br />ii. Makes it tricky to house kids when we are renovating <br />g. Jean: where do the capacity standards exist? An ordinance? <br />i. Travis: no – policy only but can be amended <br />ii. Can email to group <br />h. Bonnie: Is SAPFO a standard tool for capacity building in other <br />districts? <br />i. Eric: his experience is that most districts use DPI <br />standards (online) <br />ii. Rani: clarified how we get ahead of capacity planning <br />and what other tools are other districts using <br />1. Could the SAPFO task force consider this <br />question and do benchmarking? <br />iii. Renee: SAPFO is pretty unique to OC <br />iv. Perdita: some other districts attempted similar <br />ordinances but were tied to impact fees, which were <br />struck down – original intent was to recognize that <br />development had an impact on school capacity <br />v. Bonnie: we’re realizing SAPFO is out of date and so <br />should we be looking at revisiting SAFPO or replacing <br />it <br />vi. Perdita: the modeling and predicting part is used by <br />many other districts; we do include growth in Mebane n <br />our projections <br />1. Includes those developments/units approved but <br />not yet built <br />vii. Patrick: in other districts they never wait until the kids <br />show up – once CAPS certificates are signed the districts <br />begin planning <br />1.

Orange Middle School and Culbreth Middle <br />School most likely do not meet standards for <br />room sizes) either OC or DPI but according to <br />SAPFO looks like it meets capacity (older <br />schools) <br />4. Alamance Co. Is already building schools on the <br />border with OC to account for growth in <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F3ECCCC4-11C5-4B8B-A148-28FAABFF6334
