The Alachua County School Concurrency Project (ACSCP) was formed in May 2003 with the goal of implementing school concurrency in our county as an effective way to prevent overcrowded schools.

Now that school concurrency is mandatory statewide, our goal is to provide everyone in Florida with accurate, useful and timely information about school
concurrency.
