The Board has previously approved the Purchase and Sale Agreements for four parcels totaling approximately 101 acres located at the intersection of Newsome and Gallagher Roads in eastern Hillsborough County. The agreements were originally approved in October 2006 and amended agreements were approved in May 2007. The properties will be used to construct a high school, middle school, and elementary school.

The Interlocal Agreement for School Facilities Planning and Siting, Section 3.2, requires the School Board to conduct a public hearing to consider the Planning Commission staff's determination of consistency and the County Staff's evaluation of consistency regarding the proposed school site. District Staff submitted its Determination of Consistency Package to the County on March 13, 2007 and received the County's determination on May 25, 2007.

The Planning Commission has determined that the sites are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of Hillsborough County and Hillsborough County Staff has concurred with the findings.
