Neighborhood Santa
Announcing the return of Neighborhood Santa! You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town! This year, Santa is visiting a total of eight neighborhoods on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from December 5-16. Although Santa lives in the North Pole, he doesn't want to risk getting sick before Christmas so all visits are weather permitting. (Look for updates here or on the Roseville Parks, Recreation & Events Facebook page by 5pm on each evening for changes due to weather.) Although Santa would like to visit all neighborhoods, he just can't fit everyone into his busy schedule but hopes to get to more neighborhoods next year. While we have settled on dates Santa will be out to the neighborhoods, however we are still working through routes. Santa will also not be able to visit with children one on one during his neighborhood tour but his elves are stocking up on little treats for the crowd.

Safe Routes To School - Drop & Walk Program
Safety - Safety - Safety. It is all about the Safety of our children as walk, ride bicycles, and are dropped off by cars and buses at our schools. We as a community need to ensure the safety of our children as we hurry to drop them off them to school in the morning and pick them in the afternoon. At several schools in West Roseville this morning drop off and afternoon pick up has become a dangerous situation. Children walking and riding bicycles between cars as they rush to drop off or pick up other children. It is just a matter of time before someone gets hurt... or worse. Drop & Walk is an alternative location where parents can drop their students off for school to avoid school parking lot congestion and to keep the streets in the immediate vicinity of the school clear. In addition, Drop & Walks promote safe drop off zones, raises driver awareness of student walking, bring the school and community together to promote safe routes for all.

Schools Committee Meeting Summary for October 18, 2016
1) 6th High School: a) Discussed Measure D: Ron Severson and Joe Landon were guest speakers at the October FFNA/WPNA Annual meeting. A limited number of copies of the presentation are available. Full text of Measure D and details on the project list: https://www.placerelections.com/uploads/documents/11082016/11082016_MeasureD.pdf Q & A’s: Q: Where does the funding for Phase II of the building come from? A: From the monies generated by the building of homes in West Roseville. Q: What’s up with Prop 51? A: This is a statewide general obligation bond for construction and deferred maintenance monies for K-14 public schools. The link is: https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0005%20(Education%20Bond%20Act).pdf? Q: Who chooses the oversight committee to watch expenditures for the Sixth High School? A: We would guess that one would have to apply and more than likely the School Board would decide members. Q: Why isn’t the need for the Sixth High School prominent in the language on the information on the Bond? A: For the Bond to pass, the language must appeal to all the District and what each area will get out of the passage. Comment: Mello Roos monies should be available to use for maintenance on the high school. Loren Cook has brought this up to the City Manager and no clear answers were given. This should be on our To Do List b) Loren Cook discussed minutes from the presentation of the City of Roseville Elementary School Superintendent, Derk Garcia. He presented information at the last FFNA/WNA Board Meeting. This information is available on the FFNA and WNA websites. c) Attendance boundaries, per Joe Landon: "In the event we pass Measure D and are able to get 6th HS constructed, we probably wouldn’t look into redrawing the boundaries [from current map] at least until Phase 2 is built. The method for redrawing the boundaries: form a boundary committee of citizens, board members, etc to work on the enrollment/demographic projections and work on a solution that would last over the long term. Before Phase 2 is built, we may have room to house some intra-district student transfers at the 6th HS or Woodcreek, but tough to guess how many at this time and we have to ensure we don’t jeopardize the space for the students in the SFID boundaries (or other site). We still have another 20,000 homes coming in West Roseville and have to ensure we have the space for them there." A limited number of boundary maps are available. RJUHSD website. Comment: The schools are moving toward the same curriculum, where in the past each school could have different academic focus subjects. This will make intra-district transfers a little more feasible. 2) Elementary Schools: construction update: The schools are progressing handily. 3) Educational Measures on ballot: a) Prop 51 https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0005%20(Education%20Bond%20Act).pdf? Schools older than 25 years may be eligible for these monies, but would have to be applied for from each District. b) Prop 58 http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ballot-measures/pdf/sb-1174-chapter-753.pdf 4) HS Steering Committee: updates??? The next meeting will be in January. It will be working on school name, mascots, and curriculum programming by January and will want committee members involved to help make those decisions. 5) Other: None 6) Roundtable: Loren would like this committee to keep in mind that the 260 homes in his area are still working on being reimbursed for an assessment (on a Bond approval from 2007) beginning in 2010/2011 tax year. Although the School District has taken measures to correct this in the future, there could be a class action lawsuit or other measures to get reimbursed by the District, who are delaying action on the reimbursement issue. 7) Next meeting: The next meeting is scheduled for November 15, 2016 at Chilton Library. Pending the outcome of the November 8th election that may be the final meeting of the joint FFNA and WNA Schools Committee meeting. The citizen oversight functions of this committee may be taken up by the Oversight Committee or 6th HS Steering Committee. School concerns in the community will still be a topic at the NA meetings. Goal: This committee is dedicated to the promotion and support of schools in West Roseville, with the immediate goal of opening the 6th RJUSD high school.

Measure D Presentation - Summary
Fiddyment Farm and WestPark Neighborhood Associations are non-profit member of the Roseville Coalition of neighborhood Associations and as such cannot endorse or oppose any candidate or bond measure. The presentation was arranged for the sole purpose of educating members of our public to the content of the proposed Measure D. On October 13, 2016, members from the Roseville Joint Unified High School District gave a 42-minute overview of the proposed Measure D for this year’s election ballots. The pending bond measure will seek approval for $96,000,000 in school bonds. Presenting were Ron Severson (Superintendent), and Joe Landon (Finance Officer); Shannon Blockton was also present from RJUHSD). Ron Severson said Measure D would cover two purposes: To cover a funding gap that would provide funds needed to build the 6th high school. If passed, the school would break ground in 2018 and open in the fall of 2020. All the other schools need updating, renovating, and to provide equity so all schools would have the same equality for education. He said Roseville High is 103 years old; many schools need roof replacement, have dry rot, require mechanical and/or electrical projects, have deteriorating pool decks, or gym floors which need replacing. He wants equity in the facilities, like similar dance areas for all. Mr. Severson said 1,000,000 more workers with college degrees will soon be needed to meet new technology and scientific positions that are currently being filled by workers from out of the country. He gave future projected 2022 high school enrollments: Oakmont - 2617 (currently at 2200) Roseville - 2039 Woodcreek Oaks - 1574 Antelope - 1724 Granite Bay - 1338 The 6th high school will be the largest in the region; will grow to 1,000 in the next 4-5 years. Joe Landon said the district School Board is very conservative with its finances. He talked about the refinancing of existing bonds to get lower rates to save money. Measure D asks for approval of $96 Million of bond funding. If passed, he estimates it would be approximately a $15 assessment per $100,000 of assessed home value; approximately $60 for an average $400,000 home. He said funds used for the 6th high school would be in two phases: Phase 1 - $110 Million needed. $80 million would be produced from current SFID #1 assessments from West Roseville Specific Plan homeowners and impact fees taken when permits are pulled. The additional $30 Million would come from the bond to fill the gap the state won’t pay. Phase 2 - would come 3-5 years after Phase 1 is completed; no additional bond funds would be needed (ongoing construction and more fees would pay that). The other $66 Million of the bond approval would be used for upgrading the other schools as previously mentioned. A Citizen’s Oversight Committee would be appointed to ensure funds are spent only as authorized. An independent audit would be performed annually. No monies would go towards salaries. He said as other bond assessment end, by 2021 fees should be about the same as people are paying now, and paying only for Measure D by 2031. He stated having the 6th high school should increase home values. Mr. Severson and Mr. Landon then addressed questions from the audience, including: Will there be district boundary changes? No changes are projected until the 6th high school is built. What will Phase 2 be? 3 additional buildings will be added, funded from developer fees. What will be covered? A projects list is available to the public on the Placer County “Measure D info” website. There is concern because Measure D barely addresses the 6th high school? Bond consultants who created the ballot language worded it to be broad to appeal to all voters. How is the board locked into spending? It can’t be too specific because they need flexibility to assure priority items are covered; costs may be more than projected. However, the Oversight Committee will monitor the expenditures. If Measure D does not pass, what will happen? Mr. Severson said they’ll come back in 2018 for another bond measure, but it will cost more later. (photos courtesy of Joe Van Zant)
