SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Final 2019/2020 Facilities Five Year Work Plan (Operations Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Florida Statute requires each school district to develop and approve a district five-year capital outlay work plan. The plan must include a schedule of all major repairs, renovation and new construction projects planned and include information about class size and the use of portable classrooms in the school district. The capital outlay revenues of the district must also be projected. The Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) projections are provided by the FDOE based upon cohort projections from the annual live birth rates within the county.  This year a delay caused by issues with FDOE’s Educational Facility Information System required the Districts within the State to adopt the plan in November versus the standard October adoption. 
 
As required by our Interlocal agreements with the local governments, after the tentative work plan was approved by the Board on July 30, 2019, the work plan was reviewed and discussed with other public agencies, including Hillsborough County, the Planning Commission and the cities of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace. The Planning Commission reviewed the plan on September 9, 2019, for a finding of consistency with the comprehensive plan. Comments received from the reviewing agencies have been attached.
 
The attached work plan is presented in the Department of Education format and has been updated from the tentative plan to reflect the most current information available. Various site funds shown on the final plan have changed to reflect the 2019/2020 Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) Funds, which for 2019, no funds were allocated after the completion of the tentative plan.  Additionally, due to an acquisition issue, Middle School “UU” was moved to the 4th year, and the Spoto High School and Wimauma Elementary School additions were advanced into the 3rd year of the plan. 
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship • Demonstrate "best practices" in all aspects of safety: student, employee, visitor, facility, transportation, and health • Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
The Plan identifies $870,216,076 in funded maintenance and major repair/construction projects. An additional $177,148,263 in new student capacity construction projects is identified. Funding for new capacity projects will be derived from impact fee collections and include: classroom additions at Robinson and Spoto High Schools; a new High School Sumner High (“TTT”); two new Elementary Schools “D” and “E”; a Middle School to K-8 School conversion in South Tampa; a new Middle School “UU”; and a partially funded new High School “UUU”. The plan includes proportionate share mitigation to partially fund a Middle School Addition at High School “TTT”, with the remainder being funded by impact fees. Debt, buses and other capital expenditures total $857,358,817 for a total five year plan amount of $1,904,723,156.
