SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve District 5-Year Work Plan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Florida Statute requires each school district to develop and approve a district five-year capital outlay work plan. The plan must be submitted to the Department of Education prior to October 1st of each year. The plan must include a schedule of all major repairs, renovations and new construction projects planned and information about class size and the use of portable classrooms in the school district. The capital outlay revenue of the district must also be projected. The Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) projections are based on cohort projections from the annual live birth rates within the school district. The Five-Year Work Plan includes projected capital needs, not only for the current 5-year period, but years 6-10 and years 11-20.

As required by our interlocal agreement for School Facilities Planning, Siting and Concurrency, the tentative work plan is reviewed and discussed with other public agencies in the county including Hillsborough County, the Planning Commission, and the Cities of Tampa, Plant City, and Temple Terrace. In addition, the plan was presented to the Temple Terrace City Council, the Planning Commission and construction vendors. Comments from these groups include:

The attached work plan is presented in the Department of Education format and differs from the tentative plan approved on July 28th. All information in the tentative plan is included in this format.
