Agenda Item Cover

Florida Statute 1013.31 requires that each School Board conduct an educational plant survey at least every five years. The School Board of Hillsborough County approved the district's current survey on May 7, 2019. The survey recommends new facilities as well as additions, remodeling, dispositions and renovations at existing sites. As exceptions to the survey recommendations arise, the Board is required to submit a "spot survey" to the Department of Education for each facility.

On July 20, 2019, building 13 at McLane Middle School was struck by lightning and sustained extensive damage to both stories due to fire and water damage. After a site evaluation by the district's Florida Building Code Manager, Director of Safety, insurance adjuster and the Hillsborough County Fire Marshall, it was determined that it would not be feasible to either repair or reconstruct the building.
