NOW 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 /> r,r 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)111 <br /> F . <br /> Elementary School 131245095 7, 768 144 . 71 <br /> Middle School 5429435 49626 117 .26 <br /> High School 993 , 117 6 ,730 147 . 57 <br /> Total 29659 ,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 .
