Body
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Today’s meeting convenes the Marion County School Board, the City of Ocala, the City of Belleview, the City of Dunnellon, the Town of Reddick, the Town of McIntosh, and the Marion County Board of County Commissioners. This collaboration is conducted in accordance with the Marion County Third Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning (ILA), adopted in 2023, and is pursuant to Sections 163.31777 and 1013.33(2), Florida Statutes. Florida Statutes requires each county and its municipalities must enter into an ILA with the district school board to formally establish how local government planning processes and school district planning will be coordinated.
The ILA further requires these governing bodies to meet at least annually, and that one elected official from each governing body and staff meet more frequently as a Technical Working Group (TWG). A TWG subcommittee composed of the technical staff from each agency has been routinely meeting, sharing and reviewing development data to assist the school district with their immediate and long-range planning efforts.
