School Concurrency

Pursuant to new legislative requirements to include public school facilities in the public facilities subject to concurrency, Alachua County staff, as part of a Staff Workgroup including staff of the School Board of Alachua County and municipalities within the County, are working to develop a process for implementing school concurrency. For detailed information on this process, public meeting schedules, and related materials, please go to the homepage of the School Board of Alachua County, http://www.sbac.edu/, and click on "School Concurrency Information".

The process will be completed in three phases:
  • Phase I - The Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning has been updated to include provisions for school concurrency, and submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs ("DCA') pursuant an incentive grant between DCA and the School Board of Alachua County.
  • Phase II - Each local government will develop and adopt a Public School Facilities Element as part of its comprehensive plan; amendments to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element and the Capital Improvements Element will be adopted as well. This will be completed by July 1, 2008.
  • Phase III - Amend the Land Development Regulations in the Fall of 2008.
