Approved 6-0-1

After obtaining feedback from students and teachers during the Newspaper Advisor Meeting held on October 17, 2018, staff made additional edits including the addition of a phrase establishing student editors as the ultimate judge of the literary value of material submitted for publication. The term “students” was change to “individuals” when talking about who may submit editorials. The sentence, “Publications shall not contain advertisement of activities in which student participation is not recommended,” was edited to say, “Publications shall not contain advertisement of activities in which it is illegal for students to participate.” Other edits were minor and did not change the meaning of what had originally been considered by Trustees. These include the replacement of the word “staff” with “their” and “topic” with “subject.”

Information Only Item- No Board Act

The purpose of the District Dashboard is to provide information of student progress on several critical academic, social-emotional, and behavior indicators from pre-k through grade 12 and beyond.

These indicators emphasize the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) whole child approach to ensure students leave the District college and career ready, and are socially and emotionally healthy.

A group of site administrators representing all levels and members of TIS, Facilities, M&O, and the Executive Director of Safety and Student Services developed a revised policy. All site administrators were provided an opportunity to evaluate and comment on the revised policy.

Board Agenda page 758

Motion by Trustee Hanacek

Second by Trustee Reardon

Trustees vote 6-0-1 to approve Resolution No. 1819-24

The District has been evaluating facilities’ needs, conducting capital facilities assessments and reviewing funding that would be needed in preparation for potentially proposing a general obligation bond for future facilities needs and upgrades. The Facilities Condition Assessment, performed by Kitchell in 2017, did not include seismic analysis. In addition to this evaluation, the District also reviewed changes in the science of construction for earthquakes and has been utilizing a list prepared by the Division of State Architect (DSA) identifying building types that should receive additional evaluation. During this review, it was determined that none of the listed schools had ever been physically visited by DSA nor actually determined to be deficient in any way. Identification on the Assembly Bill (AB) 300 list does not mean the building is unsafe, but instead suggests that structural review and comparison to current building related science would be helpful for evaluation of building performance during an earthquake event.

AGENDA ITEM #43 ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY 

Board Agenda page 762

Districts across the country spend over eight billion dollars per year on educational software programs. Districts also struggle to have vendors comply with state and federal student data privacy laws and districts spend a significant amount of staff and legal counsel time negotiating contracts and privacy agreements.

The range that districts throughout the state and country pay for the same digital products can be up to 400 percent depending on the products. While some districts may pay two dollars per student for a Student Information System, others may pay five dollars per student for the same product. Districts are always looking for bid vehicles or Joint Powers Authority (JPA) agreements to purchase equipment and technology.

AGENDA ITEM #44 RESOLUTION NO. 1819-26, APPROVING AGREEMENT TO SELL THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY AND DIRECTING STAFF TO ASSESS POTENTIAL USES OF THE PROCEEDS (LAS RAMBLAS PROPERTY)

Board Agenda page 777

Board Audio at 2:44:00

Resolution (including verbal changes) passes    6-0-1

CUSD received the right to purchase approximately 7.292 gross acres of land located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Camino Las Ramblas and Avenida California in San Juan Capistrano.

Because the District does not currently own, or hold title to, the Property, the Purchase Right Agreement creates a “pass-through” title arrangement whereby title to the Property goes directly from the Owner to Lennar. The District will never own the Property pursuant to this transaction but instead will facilitate the transfer of title from Owner to Lennar. Thus, the surplus property procedures set forth in the Education Code, which applies to property sold or leased by school districts, does not apply to this transaction because the District is not the owner or seller of the Property. Furthermore, the District may review its current property and facility needs and determine how to utilize the proceeds from this transaction.

CUSD will receive a minimum price of $18,010,259.00 for the 7.292 acres $2,469,865 per acre

AGENDA ITEM #45 RESOLUTION NO. 1819-25, APPROVING AGREEMENTS TO LEASE DISTRICT SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY AND DIRECTING STAFF TO ASSESS POTENTIAL USES OF THE LEASE PROCEEDS (SOUTH BUS YARD PROPERTY)

Board Agenda page 823

Board Audio at 2:56:00

The District’s Board previously declared certain property surplus, consisting of approximately 5.51 acre property located at 26126 Victoria Blvd, Dana Point, CA 92624 (Property) pursuant to the Education Code § 17455 et seq. The District’s Board also authorized and instructed District staff to seek authorization from the State Board of Education (SBE) to pursue leasing the Property through a “Request for Proposals” (RFP) process by obtaining a waiver from SBE. District staff obtained a waiver from SBE and circulated an RFP document seeking proposals from parties interested in leasing the Property. Pursuant to the RFP process, the District staff identified Toll Brothers, Inc. (Toll) as the entity that offered the most beneficial terms to the District for the lease the Property. District staff, in consultation with legal counsel, negotiated two agreements with Toll to effectuate the lease of the Property:

1) a “Option to Lease Real Property” agreement which grants Toll a time period to review the Property to determine if the Property will meet Toll’s needs in exchange for certain monetary deposits to be delivered to the District, (the Option Agreement) and

2) a “Ground Lease” Agreement which establishes the terms and conditions by which Toll will lease the Property from the District in exchange for monthly rental payments (the Lease Agreement).

This Resolution includes current copies of the Option Agreement and the Lease Agreement for the Board’s review and approval. It is anticipated that further revisions to the Option Agreement and the Lease Agreement will be made prior to final Board approval on December 12, 2018, and final documents shall be provided pursuant to the Brown Act.

This Resolution authorizes staff to execute the Option Agreement 30 days after the final agreements are approved by the Board. Further, this Resolution

1) directs staff to review and assess the specific capital outlay, maintenance and other facility related needs of school sites located in the City of Dana Point,

2) establishes priority projects,

3) directs staff to establish a separate fund to receive proceeds from the lease of the Property, and

4) directs use of such proceeds for priority projects and capital facilities needs.
