Chart Depicting Revised LOS, Capacity, <br />Membership, and Membership Increases in <br />Underline /Strike-thru Format <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Craig Benedict, 245-2592 <br />Shannon Berry, 245-2589 <br />PURPOSE: To consider approval of revised November 15, 2010 membership and capacity <br />numbers for elementary and high school levels for Orange County Schools (OCS) which will be <br />used in developing 10-year student membership projections and the 2011 SAPFO Technical <br />Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report. <br />BACKGROUND: In accordance with the Schools APFO MOUs (Memorandum of <br />Understanding), the Board of County Commissioners approves the School Districts' November <br />15 membership and capacity numbers within 15 days after receiving the numbers from the <br />School Districts. Both School Districts submitted their membership and capacity numbers for <br />November 15, 2010 in accordance with the MOUs. The membership and capacity numbers <br />submitted were approved by the Board of County Commissioners at the December 6, 2010 <br />BOCC meeting. <br />During the process of calculating future student membership projections, it was determined <br />there was an error in the membership numbers submitted by OCS on the School APFO <br />Capacity, Membership and Change Request Forms. OCS confirmed the previously submitted <br />elementary and high school membership counts were incorrect and submitted corrected <br />reporting forms on January 20, 2011 (see Attachment 1). <br />The chart in Attachment 2 shows the correct capacity and membership for each school level in <br />both school districts and the increase over the November 13, 2009 membership. It also shows <br />the allowable maximum Level of Service (LOS) as was agreed upon as part of the SAPFO MOU <br />process and the actual LOS based on the correct November 15, 2010 membership numbers. <br />
