4. Lee County School District Special Purpose Schools: 100% of Permanent FISH

Planning Board · 2026-05-06 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of Fort Myers' policies and procedures for coordinating with the Lee County School District regarding public education facilities. It outlines how the City and School District will work together on school siting, renovations, expansions, and closures, as well as managing enrollment demand and facility capacity. The policies address how new development impacts public facilities and how these improvements will be funded, including the use of impact fees and special assessment areas. Relocatable classrooms may be used temporarily during construction. This is currently under review as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Interlocal Agreements. The work could involve site planning, civil engineering, utility coordination, and potentially construction related to school facility upgrades or new developments that require school capacity. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand potential future needs and opportunities as these plans are developed and implemented.
