9.4.2 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facilities

The Interlocal Agreement for Public Schools Facilities (2003) is between Santa Rosa County, Milton, Gulf Breeze, the Town of Jay, and the School Board of Santa Rosa County. Substantively, this interlocal agreement contains a requirement for public school facilities to be available at the time of Comprehensive Plan amendment review. This requirement basically creates a public school concurrency requirement for Future Land Use Map amendments. The agreement also contains formal planning level coordination mechanisms as well as mechanisms for coordination on school facilities siting information sharing.
