Portables N/A – No state requirements for charter

School Consolidations N/A – All charters recently opened and built/leased for a pre-determined cap

FCI Backlog • Benchmark to most recently built district-operated school FCI (Waterleaf)• Prorate that FCI amount to number of years school has been operating • Use established parameters (Example: Recent FCI study requirement)

Facility Age Most charter schools have been opened in the last 10 years – addressed through FCI report
