How is the exiting PEFE different from the new PSFE?
The Data & Analysis (D&A) section is completely different—the PSFE contains new data throughout. The existing PEFE, which was a part of the Osceola County Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in 2005, does not contain Levels of Service (LOS) standards; the PSFE now under consideration contains LOS of 110% of FISH (Florida Inventory of School Houses) for all types of schools for the next five years and thereafter. The PEFE was an optional element—local governments were not required to adopt one, but they were binding if adopted. Finally, the PSFE addresses the challenges of concurrency as mandated by the Florida Legislature (Sec. 163.3180, Florida Statutes).
