The district shall take steps to assure that plats for all proposed developments partially or completely within its boundaries are submitted to the district by other governmental entities or their authorized representatives, which may include regional, county, town or city planning commissions. The district shall make timely response to such plats as submitted. The district response shall include specific information about the adequacy of schools in the area of the proposed development based on current and projected utilization levels for those schools.
