AGENDA ITEM #34 PRESENTATION FROM THE SCHOOL FACILITIES AND FINANCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Board Agenda at page 697 Board Audio at 1:09:10 Proposed Bond Timeline January 19, 2018 Form Bond Committee January 31, 2018 Define Bond Amount and Scope February 1st through 16th Principal and Teacher Meetings Week of February 19, 2018 Community Meetings Week of February 26, 2018 Facilities Committee Presentation/Endorsement Mayor/ Community Presentation/Endorsement March 2018 Board Meeting Board Presentation and Approval April 1, 2018 (7 months to Prepare for November Election) Implement Bond Campagin PUBLIC CONCERNS CUSD has $200 million in EMERGENCY facility repairs and maintenance that currently threaten the health and safety of students and staff. Rather than use deferred maintenance funds to fix and maintain facilities, CUSD has chosen to use deferred maintenance funds to provide five consecutive years of across the Board compensation increases totaling over $150 million. CUSD has just passed a tentative agreement with teachers that will once again will provide employees with a fifth year of across the board compensation increases. See: CUSDWatch: CUSD Reaches Tentative Agreement with Teachers Now CUSD plans to ask taxpayers to approve a tax on themselves to fix the facilities that they have chosen to neglect for the past 15 years. CUSD spent over $400,000 marketing Measure M it's $889 million dollar school facilities bond that failed in 2016. See California Policy Center SPOTLIGHT – CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT: District has Paid Consultants Over $400k to Promote Bond CUSD is already spending money to market this bond: The following constitutes an improper use of $88,300 of our students General Fund Money: ICA 1718186 Fairbank, Maslin, Maulin, Metz & Associates $26,500 to provide public opinion research and strategy services ICA 1718191 Performance Production Services $11,800 to produce four Superintendent "Message to District" films. ICA 1718105 Daniel J. Edelman $50,000 to provide community engagement and strategic communication services. See: January 24, 2018 CUSD Board Meeting Agenda at page 162 It is the State of California's constitutional obligation to fund K-12 Public Education, and that has always included facilities funding. The Fact that Governor Jerry Brown is choosing not to allocate a single penny to K-12 facilities in order to fund his high speed rail project does not mean taxpayers should be forced to step in and tax themselves AGAIN for a service the state is already constitutionally obligated to provide. If CUSD wants to use its existing funds to increase employee compensation every year rather than fix and maintain facilities then let the District go to the State and ask for facilities funding that our students are constitutionally entitled to. No Facilities Bond will pass unless the District is broken into smaller pieces so that under "Local Control" parents and taxpayers can ensure that the money will be spent for the benefit of students. CUSD cannot be trusted. |
AGENDA ITEM #35 FIRST READING AND PRESENTATION - BOARD POLICY 6146.1, HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Board Agenda at page 703 Board Audio at 1:54:10 GOOD NEWS! CUSD Trustees have eliminated CCP as a class required to Graduate. WARNING TO PARENTS: The proposed Health Curriculum has content that is not age appropriate and may actually put students at risk socially, emotionally and physically. Parents should review the curriculum and decided where or not to opt your child out if the content is not appropriate for your child. The PUBLIC may want to urge Trustees to eliminate Health as a stand alone class that is required for graduation. The alternative would be to embed the minimum required Health curriculum in another class such as PE and avoid exposing students to the more controversial aspects of "Teen Talk" upon which this curriculum is based. Trustees have already made the decision to eliminate CCP as a required class to graduate. The elimination of Health together with the elimination of CCP, will enable students to have a full year of an additional block which would able more students to complete A-G course work and help improve college acceptances. Trustee Jim Reardon released his files on the proposed Health class which is provided at this link: |
