Florida · K-12 facility standards + bond cadence

Florida facilities directors: align your PECO + local bond draw to SREF + ADA Title II before plan check — and keep the audit trail clean through occupancy.

Three clocks run on the same project: SREF review (FAC §6A-2 · Chapters 4 and 5) on the day students move in, PECO drawdown across the current allocation cycle, and the DOJ April 2026 web-content rule public-sector entities must clear. None of them has relaxed. Read the cadence framework in the ADA Title II bond-cycle post.

The bond program

Florida's PECO + local K-12 bond cadence.

The program is sized, scoped, and timed — three cards grounded in Florida's facility standards and capital-funding cycle so the next call starts from the same numbers.

01Program size
$1.5B+/yr

Active PECO allocations plus ongoing local K-12 bond authorizations across Florida districts.

Direct, dollar-denominated state allocations (Public Education Capital Outlay) layered with locally authorized K-12 general obligation bonds — capital-project dollars that require a documented compliance trail from design through occupancy.

02Eligibility
Public districts · charters · match

Florida public districts, qualifying charters, and developer-founders pursuing bond-funded scope.

Programs are sized by district FTE and project type. Renovation, addition, and new-build scopes are all fundable, with the same SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities) and FAC §6A-2 expectations at occupancy.

03Timing
2025 window · 2026+ occupancy

PECO allocations active now. Local K-12 bond referenda run on an ongoing district-by-district cycle.

Districts moving now are scoping, schematic-designing, and bidding against a 2025–2028 PECO drawdown plus overlapping local bond proceeds. The SREF review conducted today is the one read at occupancy.

Bond-fundedThe drift agent is built for project documentation that holds up to a Florida SREF review from first schematic through decades of operation after occupancy.

Who this serves in Florida

Three audiences we build for in FL.

Same three audiences the practice serves nationally — restated for districts, charters, and developer-founders operating inside the Florida PECO + local K-12 bond window.

01

Public Districts

Florida districts running a PECO-supported renovation or new-build, or just past a successful local bond referendum. The compliance + drift agents keep the SREF + FAC §6A-2 documentation trail clean from first schematic to occupancy.

02

Charter and Private Special-Needs Schools

Standing up new Florida campuses or upgrading existing facilities to hold up to SREF review and ADA Title II scrutiny on bond-funded scope.

03

Developer-Founders

Opening Florida developmental learning centers who need a licensed architect fluent in SREF, autism-friendly design, and neurodiversity-affirming sensory loads from day one.
