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 Florida Department of Education (FDOE) prior to October 1^st of each year.  The plan must include a schedule of all major repairs, renovations 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. 

As required by our interlocal agreement for School Facilities Planning, Siting and Concurrency, the tentative work plan was provided to Hillsborough County, the Planning Commission and the cities of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace for their review and comment.  Staff presented the plan to both the Planning Commission and the Temple Terrace City Council.  Comments received from the reviewing agencies have been attached and are found following the plan document (pages 41-58). 

The attached work plan is in the Department of Education format and has been updated from the tentative plan to reflect the most current information available. Projects shown on the tentative plan have changed minimally, recognizing completed projects and consolidating funding for renovations.    

Also attached (pages 59-71) is a listing showing  the individual projects and revenues included in the work plan as well as a listing of Student Nutrition projects proposed for the coming year, that are funded separately, outside the work plan.
