Re: Recertification of
Under SB 201 - San
School Overcrowding Conditions
Marcos Unified School District
This letter is to comply with the requirements of Government Code Section
65970 et seq. and Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.55 et seq. by
certifying that the conditions of overcrowding of some of the schools of
the San Marcos Unified School District continues. The schools of the
District which are overcrowded are as follows:
a) San Marcos High School
b) San Marcos Junior High School
c) Alvin Dunn Elementary School
d) Rich land Elementary School
Please find enclosed an amended Resolution Re Conditions of Overcrowding in
the San Marcos Unified School District school attendance areas passed and
adopted by the Governing Board of the San Marcos Unified School District on
July 26, 1982.
Although the Governing Board proposes to utilize voluntary secured agreements
between the School District and developer, the San Marcos Unified School
District requests that fees under terms of Senate Bill 201 (Government Code
Section 65970 et seq.) continue to be collected until the District notifies
the City of Carlsbad the District wishes to use an alternative method to
mitigate overcrowding and exercise the agreement reached between the
Carlsbad City Council and the School District whereby the Carlsbad City
Council granted the School District authority to collect developer contributions
as part of the City of Carlsbad's Public Facility Element.

Resolution #82-1
RESOLUTION RE CONDITIONS
OF OVERCROWDING
IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREAS
On a motion of Member Man's > seconded by Member
Ford , the following resolution is adopted:
WHEREAS, for some time past there has been a continuing and
substantial increase in population within the boundaries of the San
Marcos Unified School District to the extent that the school facilities
of this district have become overcrowded; and
WHEREAS, a very significant proportion of the increase in
population in this district results from construction of residential units
in new housing developments within the district, and
WHEREAS, in the absence of assistance in the form of financial
contributions or dedications of land from the developers of such new
residential developments this district would not have financial resources
adequate to provide proper educational facilities for all the children
residing in this district, and
WHEREAS, Chapter 4.7 (commencing with Section 65970; added by
Stats. 1977, Chapter 955), Division 1, Title 7 to the Government Code making
provision for financial or other assistance by developers to school districts
if the governing board of a school district has made a finding that conditions
of overcrowding exist in one or more attendance areas of the district
including the specific data specified in Government Code Section 65971; NOW
THEREFORE
IT IS RESOLVED AND DETERMINED that, pursuant to Government Code
Section 65971, this governing board makes the following findings:
(1) Conditions of overcrowding exist in the following attendance
areas of the San Marcos Unified School District which will impair the
normal functioning of educational programs in those areas:
(a) San Marcos High School
(b) San Marcos Junior High School
(c) Alvin Dunn Elementary School
(d) Richland Elementary School
Page 2
(2) Reasons for the conditions of overcrowding in the above-
mentioned attendance areas include the following:
(a) The existing enrollment, the anticipated additional
enrollment, total enrollment, school capacity, and the antici-
pated enrollment exceeding school capacity for each, of the above
listed attendance areas is as follows:

(3) All reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of over-
crowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing such con-
ditions exists except (a) below. Mitigation measures considered by the
governing board of this district to reduce the overcrowded conditions
include the following:
(a) Agreements between subdividers and the district, whereby
temporary use buildings are leased to the school district with
funds made available by subdividers.
(b) The use of temporary use buildings or relocatable
structures. The use of such buildings is a feasible solution to
part of the housing needs of the district but they are not suitable
for all types of classes, particularly at the secondary level. Mobile
home type portable classrooms are not adequate in size for the average
class size of 31 students. Furthermore, the funds to obtain such
relocatable classrooms would have to be made available to the district
either by agreements with subdividers or by supplemental district
financing such as a bond issue.
(c) Student busing. Student busing is not a feasible alter-
native in that there is no space available in other schools of the
district to which the students may be transported. Busing students
would also require a considerable added cost to the district for
buses and drivers.
page
(d) Double sessions. This is not a feasible alternative in that
the instructional time for each student is reduced and students are
required to attend school at times of the day that are not most
conducive to learning. Double sessions also disrupt the home life
of families and cause excessive wear on school facilities.
(e) Year-round schools. This is not considered a favorable
alternative inthata citizens committee recommended that year-round
school not be considered as a feasible educational system at this
time and the Board of Trustees has found no reason to disagree with
this finding. • '
«c •
(f) School boundary readjustment. This is not a favorable
alternative in that there is not space available in any of the attendance
areas of the elementary schools or in the high school attendance area.
Boundary readjustments should not be made frequently as they disrupt
the identification of students and families with a particular school.
(g) Elimination of low priority school facility uses. This
1s not an alternative in this district inasmuchas there are no low
priority facilities.
(h) With the advent of Proposition 13, the local tax rate is
severely limited and unable to support the regular district operations.
To divert any of the operating funds of the district to housing would
severely curtail the district's ability to provide a quality education.
The governing board of this district called a bond election
March 7, 1978; it failed to pass. Proposition 13 requires 2/3 of the
qualified electors to pass a bond issue. This would be impossible to
achieve.
(1) The use of funds available from the sale of surplus school
district real property and other available funds. This is not a
feasible alternative in that the district does not have funds available
from other sources and does not have surplus real property available to
sell.
(4) The conditions of overcrowding in this district and the population
growth projected for this area can only be accomodated by new schools for the
long-term; placement of temporary use buildings/relocatable structures and
busing of students are stop-gap measures for the near-term only and in and of
themselves do not significantly reduce the conditions of overcrowding. Support
by developers in the form of financial contributions or dedications of land is
necessary in order to try to keep abreast of population growth, and even with
such assistance, any significant reduction in conditions of overcrowding will
be difficult until permanent additional classroom buildings can be constructed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the Secretary of this Board
deliver certified copies of this resolution to the city councils and/or Board
of Supervisors of all cities and the county within whose boundaries the school district
lies together with copies of this District's policy on the subject of developers',
subdividers', builders' contributions to mitigate impact on school facilities, and
to indicate the type and scale of assistance considered appropriate to meet the
needs of the district.

San Marcos Unified School District of San Diego County, California,

Re: SB 201
School Fee and Land Dedication Ordinance
The following information is hereby submitted in order to comply with the
provisions of SB 201, which relate to School Fees and Land Dedication.
Our school district maintains a separate fund for receipts and disbursements
of the aforementioned fees. On June 30, 1982 the cash balance in that fund was
$222,762.00. Income and disbursements for expenditures are summarized on the
enclosed supplement, which also projects estimated expenditures for the next
two years based on existing obligations. No attempt has been made to forecast
income.
Detailed records of actual sources of income by payor are maintained in the
school district office as received from the various agencies collecting the
fees on behalf of the district. Similarly, detailed records of expenditures
are on file and available for audit.
During the 1981-82 fiscal year an additional four relocatable trailer class-
rooms were leased. In addition, site preparation, furnishings and equipment
for these trailers were funded by SB 201 monies. Trailers were located at
Alvin Dunn Elementary School (1), Richland Elementary School (1), and Woodland
Park Elementary School (2).
