4/29/19 Special Meeting: Proposed Agreement with BCS and the JUA with Mountain View

This week's 4/29/19 closed session begins at 5:00pm. The board will reconvene for open session starting around 7pm in the Covington MPR.  The entire agenda and supporting documentation can be found here.  

Tonight, the LASD Board will start by considering whether to approve the Proposed 10 Year Agreement with BCS or to delay it in favor of a Proposed 2 Year Interim Agreement to allow for a public, open and transparent engagement process for buy in to any long term agreement. Both agreements are action items and can be found under agenda items E.1 and E.2 using the link above.  The Board will first decide whether to delay vote of the Proposed 10 Year Agreement and then decide whether to approve the Proposed 2 Year Interim Agreement.  As stated in a letter to the LASD parent community, I firmly believe the interim plan would give our community the time it requires to build an understanding of and support for a long term agreement.  With an interim plan in place, we can set up a process that is inclusive, include both LASD and BCS board members, begin immediately and end no later than January 2020 so that our community can move on to working on what we all care about: excellent education for our children. 

Next, Randy Kenyon will present the Funding and Joint Use Agreement with the City of Mountain View (JUA).  This is action item and the agreement can be found under agenda item E.3. using the link above.  Randy is asking that we approve this agreement.  The JUA, along with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) approved on 1/29/19 by the Board, would encompass our entire agreement with the City of Mountain View regarding the 10th Site.  The MOU memorialized the structure of the Transfer of Development Rights program that gives the District the ability to sell the development rights it will acquire with the purchase of the 10th site parcel to already willing buyers for $130/square for a grand total of $79.3 million. JUA memorializes our sharing agreement with the City of Mountain View of the fields and gym in consideration of their contribution of $23 million to the purchase price of the 10th site.
