The San Dieguito Union High School District maintains a separate account for all fees paid under this ordinance, and had receipts of $37,026 during 1982-83. A total of $37,026 was expended for temporary classrooms in the atten- dance area which serves Carlsbad residents. The Board of Trustees took action at its regular meeting on August 4, 1983, to identify all attendance areas in the San Dieguito Union High School as overcrowded for the 1983-84 school year. The Board also revised its policy on the availability of facilities, modifying the developer fee to take into consideration the increased costs of pro- viding temporary classrooms. The new fee schedule is as follows: 3+ bedrooms - $1,995 2 bedrooms - $ 863 1 bedroom - $ 324 On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I respectfully request that the City of Carlsbad approve the attached Resolution of Overcrowding along with the revised fee schedule for providing temporary classrooms. Addi- tional information is available upon request. Ct Mr. William A. Berrier, Superintendent em Attachments RESOLUTION RE: CONDI T.IONS-OF OVERCROWDING IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREA! On motion of Member McCarthy . Sensibaugh , seconded by Member 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 Diequito Union High 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, Chap. 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 Dieguito Union High School District which will impair the normal functioning of educational programs in those areas: San Dieguito High School - Grades 9-12 i Torrey Pines High School - Grades 9-12 Oak Crest Junior High School - Grades 7-8 Earl Warren Junior High School - Grades 7-8 Sunset (continuation) High School - Grades 9-12 (2) Reasons for the conditions of overcrowding in the above-mentioned attendance areas include .the following: San Dieguito High School Torrey Pines High School Oak Crest Junior High School Earl Warren Junior High School Sunset (continuation) High School PROJECTED ENROLLMENT 2094 1795 1000 873 200 CURRENT CAPACITY PERMANENT AND PORTABLE 1914 1726 990 940 .204 In addition to the students presently enrolled, the County or the responsible city has approved numerous developments in each of the above named attendance areas that have potential for further impacting District schools. The students currently enrolled, combined with those anticipated from new developments already approved, has resulted in an overcrowded condition at each of the schools listed above. (3) All reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of overcrowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing such conditions exists. Mitigation -1- measures considered by tb~ governing board of this distri to reduce the overcrowded conditions include the fo..owing: a) The District has entered into agreements with developers who have contributed financial assistance toward the cost of providing .temporary use buildings. Other temporary buildings have been financed out of the District's general fund so that each site contains a mix of temporary and permanent facilities. b) District voters approved a bond measure that provided the first phase of a n'ew high school in 1974 that is seriously overcrowded in spite of the addition of seventeen (17) portable classrooms at that site since the fall of 1975. c) Student busing and boundary realignments are not feasible alternatives at the high school level since both of the District's two comprehensive high schools are overcrowded. These alternatives have been implemented at the junior high level; and even so, those campuses are projected to exceed capacity prior-to the completion of developments that have been approved by the appropriate governmental body. d) Such alternatives as year-round operation and double sessions have been examined by committees of parents and staff, but have been rejected due to what is considered to be a negative impact on the instructional program. e) The District has no "surplus" real property or "low priority school facilities"; therefore, this is not a feasible alternative for increasing school capacity. f) A Long Range Comprehensive Master Plan was adopted in June 1981 that identified the facilities required to keep pace with District growth. One new -junior high school was called for plus additional permanent facilities on each of the District's four existing campuses. The District has received a Phase I planning grant and a Phase II grant for working drawings for a junior high school from the State Allocation Board, but completion of the project will only partially meet the District's master planning needs. . (4) The conditions of overcrowding in this district and the explosive population growth projected for this area can only be accomodated by the construction of new permanent facilities-on existing sites and/or the development of additional sites. The use of additional temporary use buildings/relocatable structures to accommodate future growth on developed District sites is extremely limited. 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 signifi- cant reduction in the conditions of overcrowding will be difficult until sufficient funds can be generated to provide additional permanent facilities. BE IT. FURTHER RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the Secretary of this Board deliver certified copies of this resolution to the city councils'and/or the Board of Super- visors of all cities and County within whose boundaries the school district lies together with copies of this District's policy on the subject of developers', subdividers', and builders' contributions to mitigate impact on school facilities to indicate the type and scale of assistance considered appropriate to meet the needs of this district. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Governing Board of the San Dieguito Union High School District of San Diego County, California, this ' 4th day of August > 1 Qg V -2- Members of the Governing Board of the SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT EXHIBIT 2 625 North Vulcan Avenue Leucadia, California 92024 714/753-6491 Union High School District September 28, 1983 Mr. Frank N. Mannen Assistant City Manager/Administration City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-1989 Dear Mr. Mannen: Thank you for your letter of September 7, 1983. Contrary to the school enrollment situation in many areas of California, the San Dieguito Union High School District is growing in student population, and is expected to nearly triple in size by the year 2000. Some pertinent information is: 1. San Dieguito High School (9-12) Capacity - 1937 Enrollment - 2163 2. Oak Crest Junior High School (7-8) Capacity - 967 Enrollment - 1018 3. The District has added over 70 portable classrooms to accommodate the growth during recent years. 4. The District has entered into secured school agreements for over 4,000 living units in the northern area of our school district. Agreements for 796 units were added in 1982-83. 5. During 1982-83 approximately 700 new building permits were pulled in the area served by San Dieguito High School and Oak Crest Junior High School. Mr. Frank N. Mannen Page 2 September 28, 1983 6. The District has an application in process with the State of California for funding a junior high school in the Village Park area. At this time, the timing of the fund- ing is uncertain. In summary, we are in an overcrowded situation now, and the current and future building activity make it imperative that we continue to collect developer fees.
