PURPOSE: To approve the 2007 SAPFOTAC Report related to various aspects of Orange
County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS), as outlined in the draft
Annual Report of the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) and the incorporated
forms.
BACKGROUND: At the December 12, 2006 Board of County Commissioners' meeting, the
Board approved the November 15, 2006 actual membership and previously adopted capacity
numbers for both Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools.
Additional approvals/certifications, as outlined in the table below, are required by the SAPFO
partners~MOUs (Memorandum of Understanding).
At the April 10, 2007 BOCC meeting, the Board received for review the draft 2007 SAPFOTAC
report. The draft report was also posted on the Orange County Planning Department's web site.
A letter and the Executive Summary of the report was sent to all SAPFO partners on April 16,
2007 advising them of the availability of the draft report and inviting comment. Comments were
requested for submission prior to May 16, 2007. No comments have been received; however,
the Town Council of Chapel Hill adopted a resolution endorsing the 2007 SAPFOTAC Report at
its May 7, 2007 Council meeting.
In response to the~informational item on the May 15, 2007 BOCC agenda regarding Class Size
Amendments, the relevant sections of the 2007 SAPFOTAC Report have been updated to
reflect the OCS updated capacity numbers when the K-3 class size reductions go into effect.
The specific pages that were changed are as follows: ii, 4, 40, 47, and 48.
The exact pages of the 2007 SAPFOTAC report that the BOCC will be acknowledging and
certifying are listed below. The context (i.e.: definitions and standards) of the various SAPFO
elements precedes the data to be certified and is within the full report.

FINANCIAL. IMPACT: As was included in the April 10, 2007 BOCC agenda abstract materials,
CHCCS have projected capital facility construction needs as follows:
Projected need for:
New Elementary #10 in 2008-2009
New Elementary #11 in 2010-2011
New Middle School #5 in 2013-2014
Expanded High School in 2016-2017
OCS is not expected to have new school construction needs in the 10-year planning period, but
approved development within the Orange County portion of the City of Mebane may impact
future projections and needs.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the 2007
SAPFOTAC Annual Report as specified in the report certification summary table herein.,
