It is the link between development and school capacity. In 2005, the Florida Legislature enacted Senate Bill 360, which mandated a comprehensive focus on school planning by requiring local municipalities and school boards to adopt a school concurrency system. School Concurrency ensures that local governments and school boards work together in planning and permitting new developments that affect school capacity and utilization rates. It must be a uniform system in terms of level of service standards, implementation requirements, and proportionate share mitigation. To view a presentation on school concurrency click on this link.
