Background/Analysis:Florida Statue 1013.31 requires the Board to arrange for an educational plant survey every five years. The lastsurvey for Seminole County was completed in January 2006 and the deadline for completion of the updatedsurvey is June 30, 2011. The Department of Education establishes the content, format, criteria and cost estimatenumbers for the plant survey. The survey recommendations are entered into a DOE database under the control ofthe Office of Educational Facilities. The educational plant survey consists of the following analysis and criteria:• An inventory of FISH data for existing educational and ancillary facilities• Recommendations for improvements to existing educational and ancillary facilities• Recommendation for closing one elementary school• Information required by the rules of the State Board of Educational such as the following:o The FISH capacity of each facility and the “estimated” cost of each recommendationo An analysis of past and projected capital outlay student population (COFTE) for pre-K through12, using DOE COFTE projectionso Statements of proposed types of facilities, grade structure, and student capacity for pre-Kthrough 12, all based upon current facilities listso An analysis of projected capital outlay fund revenue for the next five years• DOE requires the survey districts to house students in all available stations before recommendingadditional new schools. This therefore presumes a district will rezone to balance, on a district widebasis, elementary, middle, and high school attendance zones to ensure all schools are at capacity,before “needing” new school construction. Please note that there are no recommendations for “new”school construction.• The survey and FISH data account for class size reduction numbers• The student stations associated with relocatables constructed prior to 1983 and any leased relocatablesare excluded per DOE Rule and Statute• The survey incorporates projects currently identified in the 5 year CIPThe Facilities Department completed this school plant survey.
