Which projects fall into this category?
Ramifications of a May 15, 2007 bond failure and what problems are created?
Alternatives for managing these problems in the short run?
Alternatives for managing these problems in the long run?
OVERARCHING THEMES
1. Growth:Even with new classrooms opening next year, existing enrollments require more classrooms now and the need will continue to grow.
2. Deteriorating Facilities:Past overcrowding, the wear and tear of intensive use of buildings and classrooms and the degraded condition of heavily used equipment require replacement or upgrading of our capital facilities if they are to continue to be useful.
Continued on next page
OVERARCHING THEMES
3. Many capital expenditures are necessary whether or not the bonds are available to pay for them and instructional dollars must be used instead.
4. Failure to deal with capital needs on a timely basis has both immediate and cumulative effects on students, families and teachers.

Technology tools help us meet the needs of the 21st century learner, a digital native

Core mission-critical systems are at the end of their life
TECHNOLOGY: 1-3 Years
As technology fails, do not replace; over time student access will become increasingly limited
Reassign computers to teachers and other staff when new teachers and other staff are hired or existing machines fail
Negative Impact to Students
TECHNOLOGY: Beyond 3 Years
Eliminate technology-based instructional programs when they fail
Continue inequitable access to appropriate technology between schools
Redirect money from instructional needs to install systems necessary for payroll and vendor payments
Negative Impact to Students
FACILITIES & SITES:Overview
2.6 million SF; 22,000 students
Maintain investment in existing assets
A stitch in time
Inequity between schools
Equal access is limited
Provide appropriate learning environments for students!

HEALTH, SAFETY & EMERGENCY: Overview
Buildings are not protected without seismic upgrades
Emergency supplies are inadequate stored inside or outside of schools
Buildings are compromised and deterioration accelerated if leaking roofs are not repaired/replaced
HEALTH, SAFETY & EMERGENCY: 1-3 Years
Delay major capital upgrades
Recruit volunteer fundraising for emergency storage & equipment
Build cement barrier in front of Firgrove (reduce risk of vehicles in traffic accidents ending up on school grounds)
Negative Impact to Students
HEALTH, SAFETY & EMERGENCY: Beyond 3 Years
Redirect money used for classroom instruction to pay for facility and site improvements
When hazardous playground equipment is removed, do not replace it
Negative Impact to Students
SUMMARY
Student Growth is Continuing
Costs Continue to Rise
Portables Are Only a Temporary and Undesirable Option
FINAL COMMENTS
Voters will make a choice on May 15, 2007. This report was commissioned by the Board of Directors to identify, study, and report on the impacts and options if this measure is rejected. Unfortunately, the alternatives are not easy. Nearly every short term option is both expensive in its own right and even more costly in the long run.
FINAL COMMENTS
There are financial costs.
More importantly,
there are educational and human costs.
