The Facility Planning and Real Estate Department is an integral part of the Portfolio Services Division. 

The Department is subdivided into four functional Sections:

• Administrative Sites,
• Facility Planning,
• Growth Management
• Real Estate and Environmental Planning

The Administrative Site Section whose functional responsibilities are currently provided by the Facility Planning Section is responsible for the management of data regarding occupancy of the District’s administrative facilities and space planning regarding the allocation of viable office/cubicle space in the facilities to District administrative personnel.

The Facility Planning Section is primarily responsible for the development of Educational Specifications for the District’s educational facilities, commencement of the process for the annual District’s needs assessment of its facilities, update of the Five-Year Educational Plant Survey, update of AutoCAD drawings for administrative and school facilities (which include site plans and floor plans of the facilities) and the FISH data for all long term (40 years or more) District leased facilities, and space planning regarding relocation into District’s administrative offices.

The Growth Management Section is responsible for addressing growth management issues for the School District. Specifically, to ensure that consistent with applicable Florida Statutes, public school facilities are available to address the impact of proposed residential development on Broward County Public Schools.

The Real Estate and Environmental Planning Section is primarily the repository for all original School Board Real Estate records, responsible for coordinating and obtaining School Board approval for all facility lease agreements, joint use agreements with local municipalities, and addressing easement matters for the District. The Facility Planning and Real Estate Department is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to the students and citizens of Broward County. Our first and foremost goal is to directly support the Broward County Public School students, parents, citizens and staff.

We, the Facility Planning & Real Estate Department are committed to continuously strive to improve on our best efforts towards meeting Broward County Public School's mission of educating all students to reach their highest potential.
