District projects about $4.1 billion in facilities revenue over five years in tentative DEFP
Summary
In a brief presentation staff outlined the tentative District Educational Facilities Plan and projected roughly $4.1 billion in revenues over FY2027–2031; staff described COPS financing, impact fees, and carryover funds that will support ongoing and new facility projects.
District staff presented the tentative District Educational Facilities Plan (DEFP) overview and revenue assumptions that will underpin capital planning through FY2027–2031.
Omar Shem, director of capital budget, told the board, “This slide shows projections of approximately $4,100,000,000 over 5 years from fiscal year 27 fiscal year 20 27 to fiscal year 2031.” He explained that the FY2027 millage revenue reflects a 3.9% increase based on Broward County certified property values and that local impact fees, COPS financing and lease financing for equipment also support capital funding. Shem reported $57,300,000 in capital reserve carryover and a remaining carryover of $404,800,000 allocated to ongoing projects and capital programs.
The presentation framed the revenue picture as the baseline for moved-up projects and new recommendations; board members said they expect the Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) and long-range master planner inputs to refine project priorities before final adoption in the second DEFP meeting on September 1, 2026.
