Community Engagement, PSA with a side of CHAC

The 6/19/19 is a special meeting.  Closed session begins at 4:00pm. The board will reconvene for open session starting around 5pm in the LASD Board Room.  The entire agenda and supporting documentation can be found here.  

First up on the agenda is the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Federal Realty.  This is an action item and Randy asks that we approve this agreement to purchase the 10th Site.  The full agreement can be found under agenda item F.1 using the link above.  As outlined in my last blog post, the high level deal terms are as follows:  

1. Price of 11.65 Acres: $155,000,000
2. Less MV City Purchase of 2 Acres: -$20,000,000
3. Less MV City Contribution from JUA: -$23,000,000
4. Less MVSA Project Contribution: -$5,000,000
5. Less TDR Buyer's Contributions: -$79,300,000
6. Net Price to LASD for 9.65 Acres: $27,700,000

This is amazing deal for the district to purchase a school site in rapidly growing area of LASD and I look forward to approving this agreement.  It is a win win for the LASD and the City of Mountain View placing a school and neighborhood park in an area that lacks such. 

Next, we will get an update from Mr. Baier and the Project Team as to the work on the Community Engagement Process to date.  This is a discussion item and the presentation can be found under agenda item F.2.  The presentation includes (1) a draft of the Guiding Principles, (2) buckets of context and history to inform why site scenarios have or have not been considered, and (3) a chronological list of site scenarios considered by the LASD board or the community since the inception of BCS.  The Project Team (Staff, Vladimir and I) are asking for Board direction on the Guiding Principles and direction to organize a list of history and context of sites considered and some confirmation of all scenarios publicly considered.      

Last up, Jeff will present a Memorandum of Understanding with Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC).  This is an action item and the MOU/Agreement can be found under agenda item F.3.  For years CHAC has provided much needed counseling services at all of LASD's schools and our partnership with them helps with LASD's commitment to health and wellness of each and every student.  The Board is asked to approve this agreement. 

Please note, this is just the highlights of what is on the agenda for the 6/19//2019 meeting.  You can inform yourself about the rest of the agenda at the link provided above.  As always, feel free to email me with any questions.
