There was a question and answer period where the Board wanted clarification on <br />exemptions, the cost of bussing, the school capacity formula, and charter school capacity. <br />Mayor Tom White informed the Board that he had received an e-mail from the <br />Florida League of Cities informing him that an upcoming school concurrency workshop meeting <br />was scheduled to discuss changing a particular Statute, and wanted to know if our concurrency <br />would have to coincide with the Florida State Statute. Vice Chairman Davis informed him that it <br />would. <br />Councilman Sal Neglia voiced concern over the possibility of empty schools due to <br />attrition and little or no development. He did not want students bussed until they know more about <br />what is happening in the County. <br />Karen Disney-Brombach did not feel the number of students were going down, even <br />with the County's decrease in growth. <br />Vice Chairman Davis emphasized the importance of "looking down the road and <br />planning accordingly." He felt the Interlocal Agreement was a great planning tool for the future. <br />Mayor Savage wanted to know if the portables were being counted when counting <br />seats. She was informed that they were not, and only "permanent portables" that can withstand <br />hurricane abuse are counted. There was a brief discussion regarding core capacity and how the <br />students were included in the FISH number. <br />Jason Nunemaker complimented staff on a job well done, and confirmed that this <br />would be a difficult process. He, however, felt it was something that Fellsmere could work with. <br />January 31, 2008 6 <br />Joint Public School Concurrency Workshop <br />
