BOARD ACTION

BLUE CARD - Dawn Urbanek

 

It is unfortunate that CUSD does not produce Board Audio for Board Workshops. The information and discussion would be very valuable to the Cities where these properties are located. I attended this workshop and was able to video tape a portion of these meetings. The recordings and information are below.

I went and pulled CUSD's property tax information. CUSD already owns 82 properties in South Orange County worth millions and millions of dollars. Some of them are sitting empty. The real estate deal with the Ranch is clear evidence that CUSD should spend its time providing the best education possible for its students. But as I spend more time reading through 800 page agendas, I see that there is a lot of time and energy spent on the generation of new revenue streams. $900 thousand on a Natural Gas vehicle filling station and discussions about running bus transportation for other districts. Doing joint ventures with the properties listed in this item to provide low income housing for teachers. Building a District Office with the intention of using rental income generated from the building to pay staff salaries, pensions and benefits, while at the same time, they allow our students to attend class in facilities that are not maintained with class sizes that are the highest in the nation. With staff that unilaterally made the decision to cut funding for programing for high achieving students. CUSD spends time on marketing - rebranding schools that are under enrolled rather than closing them or allowing Charter schools to have the facilities. Millions on technology with the goal to be a district that teaches other districts. We now have over 50 TOSA's (Teachers on Special Assignment) that are not in the classroom, but are doing professional development and other projects.
