Population <br /> The County ' s public education facilities provide services to the entire county . While <br /> attendance boundaries are set for individual schools , these boundaries can be redrawn in <br /> order to balance where students live with where there is available school capacity . <br /> Further, school capacity that is added in one part of the county can serve new <br /> development in another part of the county . Therefore , the appropriate impact fee district <br /> for public education facilities is countywide . <br /> Level of Service <br /> For IRC , the LOS for public school facilities is measured in terms of square feet per <br /> student station . Based on the information provided by the IRC School District, IRC ' s <br /> LOS is 144 . 71 square feet per student station for elementary schools , 117 . 26 square feet <br /> for middle schools , and 147 . 57 square feet for high schools . The weighted average LOS <br /> for all public schools is 139 . 07 square feet per student station . <br /> The LOS is based on the School District ' s inventory of school facilities for the 2008/09 <br /> school year . Due to the School District ' s plans to replace all portable student stations <br /> over the next five years , the School District ' s 2008/09 inventory is more reflective of <br /> what the actual LOS will be once the portable classrooms are replaced with permanent <br /> classroom facilities . Because the future five -year inventory is used, subsequent <br /> calculations include the projected student enrollment for the 2008/09 school year and the <br /> assumption that all student stations are permanent student stations . The School District' s <br /> 2008/09 public school inventory can be found in Appendix D , Table D -2 . Table IX - 1 <br /> presents the calculation of the current LOS . <br /> The County ' s Comprehensive Plan does not include an adopted LOS for public school <br /> facilities . Therefore , the existing LOS will become the adopted LOS standard once the <br /> necessary amendments are made to the Comprehensive Plan . <br /> Table IX = 1 <br /> Current Level of Service ( 2004 ) ( ' ) <br /> LOSStandard <br /> Total Square Number f [Square Feet per , <br /> School Type Footage Student Stations Student Station <br /> Elementary School 1 , 124 ,095 7 , 768 144 . 71 <br /> Middle School 5421435 4 , 626 117 .26 <br /> High School 993 , 117 6 , 730 147 . 57 <br /> Total 2 , 659 , 647 195124 N/A <br /> Weighted Average All Schools N/A N/A 139. 07 <br /> ( 1 ) Source : Appendix D, Table D -2 <br /> Tindale -Oliver & Associates , Inc .
