LAND O' LAKES - The Pasco County School Board is putting the finishing touches on a manual that will set guidelines for implementing its school concurrency policy.

The board will hold a public hearing at 9:30 a.m. today on the concurrency implementation procedures manual, which is to be a resource for developers, local governments and the school board.
The manual is expected to be adopted at the board's Nov. 17 meeting.

School concurrency ties the approval of housing developments to whether schools have the capacity to handle the growth. The Legislature approved a bill in 2005 that requires every county in Florida to develop a concurrency plan.

The school board, the county commission and local municipalities already worked out an interlocal agreement on concurrency.
