ORANGE COUNTY
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: February 4, 2025
Action Agenda
Item No. 8-e
SUBJECT: Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO) — Approval of
Membership and Capacity Numbers
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
1. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and Orange Perdita Holtz, Deputy Director, 919-245-
County Schools: SAPFO Capacity Calculation 2578
and Change Request Form (Includes Student Cy Stober, Director, 919-245-2592
Membership) for Elementary, Middle, and
High School Levels
2. Chart Depicting LOS, Capacity, Membership,
and Capacity Updates
PURPOSE: To consider approval of the November 15, 2024 membership and capacity
numbers for both school districts (Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and Orange County
Schools) which will be used in developing 10-year student membership projections and the
2025 SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report.
BACKGROUND: In accordance with the SAPFO MOUs (Memoranda of Understanding), the
Board of County Commissioners shall approve the school districts' November 15th membership
and capacity numbers within 15 school days after receiving the numbers from the school
districts. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) submitted their membership and capacity
numbers in accordance with the MOU. Orange County Schools (OCS) was delayed this year
and its signed forms were submitted on January 17, 2025. As per the MOUs, this step of the
SAPFO process entails only the approval of the student membership and capacity numbers.
The capacity calculations have been updated this year as follows:
• Space used by Pre-K programs has been accounted for.
• CHCCS updated capacity figures with those calculated in the Facilities Needs
Assessment conducted by Woolpert, Inc.
• OCS updated capacity figures using NC Department of Public Instruction (DPI) capacity
formulas.
The chart in Attachment 2 shows the Capacity and Membership provided by the school systems
for each school level in both school districts and the increase (or decrease) over the November
15, 2023 membership. It also shows the Allowable Maximum Level of Service (LOS), as was
agreed upon as part of the SAPFO MOU process, and the Actual LOS based on November 15,
2024 membership numbers. The capacity updates discussed above are also shown in
Attachment 2.
2
The SAPFOTAC, comprised of representatives of both school systems and the Planning
Directors of the County and Towns, is tasked to produce an annual report for the governing
boards of each SAPFO partner. The annual SAPFOTAC report will be available in spring 2025.
The CAPS (Certificate of Adequate Public Schools) system is updated with actual membership
and capacity figures after the BOCC approves the information submitted by the school districts.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact in approving the membership and capacity
forms. Precise financial impacts in membership and capacity changes cannot be determined at
this time, but changes in projected growth in student membership for the next ten years are
expected to result in changes in future operating and capital budget requests.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: There are no Orange County Strategic Plan Goals
applicable to this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the November 15,
2024 Membership and Capacity numbers as submitted by each school district.
