Public Schools Planning
Overview
The public school system in Pinellas County is based on a countywide district, encompassing all of the municipalities within the County and the unincorporated area.
Pinellas Schools Collaborative
The Pinellas Schools Collaborative was formed from the 1906 Committee that prepared the original Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, which was executed in April 2003. The Collaborative consists of elected officials from Pinellas County, twelve municipalities, and the School Board.
Together, the Workgroup and the Collaborative developed the updated Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, agreeing to create one PSFE that each local government would be able to adopt. This use of a single PSFE would ensure that there was consistency throughout the local governments and that development could be tracked countywide, further ensuring that public school facilities would not be adversely affected by additional development and redevelopment. The Workgroup and the Collaborative met numerous times to develop the updated Interlocal Agreement, and later the Element itself. On June 6, 2007, the Collaborative approved the proposed Element and related plan amendments and submitted them to the participating local governments for adoption.
The Collaborative continues to meet to work through the implementation of school concurrency throughout the county. The Workgroup and the Collaborative continue to meet to develop the development tracking system that will serve to implement and monitor school concurrency on a countywide basis
