All counties/municipalities must complete Public School Facilities Element adoptions and interlocal agreement updates no later than December 1, 2008. The requirements to meet school concurrency are as follows:

• Update existing public school interlocal agreements and the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to include coordinated procedures for implementing school concurrency (Sections 163.3177(6)(h)(1), 163.31777, Florida Statutes, and 163.3180(13), Florida Statutes.
• Adopt a Public School Facilities Element into the comprehensive plan (Sections 163.3180(13)(a) and 163.3177(12), Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J-5.025, Florida Administrative Code.
• Adopt level-of-service standards to establish maximum permissible school utilization rates relative to capacity, and include level of service standards in an amended Capital Improvements Element of the comprehensive plan and in the updated interlocal agreement (Section 163.3180(13)(b), Florida Statutes).
• Establish a financially feasible Public School Capital Facilities Program and include this program in an amended Capital Improvements Element of the comprehensive plan (Section 163.3180(13)(d)1., Florida Statutes).
• Establish proportionate-share mitigation methodology and options to be included in the Public School Facilities Element and the interlocal agreement (Section 163.3180(13)(e), Florida Statutes).
• Establish public school Concurrency Service Areas to define the geographic boundaries of school concurrency, and include the Concurrency Service Areas in the updated interlocal agreement and in the supporting data and analysis for the comprehensive plan (Sections 163.3180(13)(c) and 163.3180(13)(g)(5), Florida Statutes).
