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. Business Manager RCC:LG Enclosure cc: Dr. Streshly 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: 6/11/82 Anticipated Total Capacity of Anticipated Enrollment Enrollment "Enrollment School -" ..... Excess San Marcos High School 1309 New Horizons 118 San Marcos Junior High. 797 Alvin Dunn School 687 Richland School 758 San Marcos Elementary 603 Woodland Park School 841 70 2 71 J8 15 15 -36 1379 122 868 705 773 618 805 1350 130 782 684 760 659 829 29 0 2T 13 (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.

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). •t.
