SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Districtwide Comprehensive Safety Inspections Annual Report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Florida Statute 1013.12 mandates an annual comprehensive fire safety, casualty, and sanitation inspection be conducted at facilities under the jurisdiction of the School Board. Two hundred sixty-six inspections were conducted during the 2007-2008 school year. The completed inspections are available for review at the District Safety Office, and a copy will be forwarded to the State Fire Marshal’s Office (as required by Florida Statute 1013.12). Deficiencies that posed an imminently dangerous condition were immediately reported by the Fire Safety Inspector for priority correction. Each deficiency in this category was expedited upon receipt and resolved--none remain at this time. The consolidated inspection report is attached.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

OPPAGA Chapter 11—School Equipment and Facilities (#22): Routine inspections performed and corrective work is done properly.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

During the 2007-2008 school year, approximately $477,993 was expended to correct 6,630 health, life, and safety deficiencies.
