SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approval of Spot Surveys for Chiles, Cimino, Forest Hills, and Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary Schools

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Florida Statute 1013.31 requires that each School Board conduct an educational plant survey at least every five years. The Board approved the District's current survey on May 4, 2004. The survey recommends new facilities as well as additions, remodeling, and renovations at existing sites.

As exceptions to survey recommendations arise, the Board is required to submit a spot survey to the Department of Education for each facility. Spot surveys are now required at the following schools.

1. Chiles to construct 8 primary classroom. The Board also approved 8 classrooms on March 8, 2005. Sixteen classrooms will provide 288 student stations.
