The Alachua County School Concurrency Project, Inc. (ACSCP) is a non-profit corporation that has been working for three years on issues related to school concurrency. While the organization's focus has been on Alachua County, Florida, it has developed a web site that has a variety of information that will be of interest to individuals in states having school concurrency requirements. See screenshot of their web site:

For those not familiar with school concurrency, the following is from a report by Peter Rebmann, President of ACSCP, available on the website:

"Concurrency is the basic tool of growth management. It means that public services and facilities will be planned and built such that they will be available in sufficient quantity when new residential housing comes on line and makes new demands on those public services and facilities. Thus traffic concurrency, for example, means that roads and highways must be built in time and with sufficient capacity to handle the traffic created by new residential developments as they come on line.

School concurrency is the same principle applied to schools, new or expanded school facilities must be built in time to handle the additional students that will come from new residential developments as those developments come on line.

The force of any type of concurrency comes from the fact that new residential developments cannot be approved unless sufficient capacity to handle their impacts already exists or will be in place when they are completed. Thus, if a new residential development would overwhelm the current and planned capacity of roads and highways in the area where it would be built, traffic concurrency would require that the development be denied approval.

The same is true for school concurrency, if a proposed residential development would overwhelm the current and planned capacity of the schools in the area where it would be built, school concurrency would require that the development be denied approval."
