In 2008, the City Commission adopted new elements into the Comprehensive Plan which implemented

Comprehensive Plan, the City entered into an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) which was signed by Orange
County Public Schools (OCPS), Orange County, and all municipalities within Orange County. The
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) ensures that school concurrency is uniformly implemented throughout the
County and addresses the minimum requirements for school concurrency.
As a result of fewer backlogged schools on OCPS' list; the ILA has been amended to delete several
defmitions, and modify Level of Service standards, School Concurrency Service Areas, and
appendices that were detailed in the original ILA. The amendment to the ILA cannot be fmalized until
the City of Ocoee, Orange County, OCPS and all municipalities within Orange County sign the
agreement.
