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)

Roseville City School District K-8
On September 14, 2016, Gary Miller, Derk Garcia, and Dennis Snelling from the Roseville City School District K-8, gave a half-hour presentation including updates on the W-70 elementary school under construction off Brookstone Drive in the far western portion of the WestPark development. Mr. Miller announced that the application period is open for naming the W-70 school. The application is on the front page of the district office’s website -- rcsdk8.org. The deadline to submit an application is Sept. 30; the school board will make its decision Oct. 20th. Derk Garcia, Asst. Superintendent, said the blacktop is in, the building is going up; the buildout is 50% ahead of time, and the district may receive possession of the building from the developers even earlier than the original 7/1/2017 date planned. This school will have all cement flooring for better maintenance; if it doesn’t work as well as they hope, it can always be covered with another flooring type later. This is the last school projected to use the same building plan as was used for Junction and Fiddyment Farm; a new plan is expected for F-71 (2nd elementary for the Fiddyment Farm area). Dennis Snelling said they are posting the building progress daily on their district website. He said the district has an overall attendance of 10,500 students. Current figures for our schools: Fiddyment Farm is now at 654 students (3rd year open); they have 400 in kindergarten, and have brought in 3 portable units there. Junction has 740 students. Chilton has 601 students. In future, there will be more elementary schools: 600 students at Creekview. 800 students in the Amoruso Ranch development (2-story facility). 800 students for the 2nd Fiddyment Farm elementary -- F-71. Capacity Figures for Middle schools: 900 at Cooley 1100 at Buljan 1200 at Chilton. As building in this area continues, students may have to be spread over the other middle schools (much like our kids are going to Oakmont High School, only closer). Derk Garcia said the district meets with developers quarterly, and they keep updated with demographers on future needs. Fees for the schools are still being collected in the building impact fees when permits are pulled for new housing. Funds from the HP Campus Oaks project will still be collected, but the students will be absorbed into the Blue Oaks Elementary School. He said an issue has come up in other school areas about fencing: the schools will remain locked during school hours, but be unlocked after school until sunset only, and then will remain locked on weekends. Although they understand local families want to be able to use the play areas, they must maintain the security of the schools. This October, they will pull data on where students reside; in November they will decide the boundaries for school attendance and send out notices to the residences in December after the board makes its decisions on district zones. Parents can apply for inter-district transfers at that time. The school district’s website will show (possibly as early as next week) by address which school students will be slated to attend. The district website will be the accurate school assignment (the City/RCONA information will probably not be accurately updated, so use the school district site for the correct information.)

Park Development Updates
We have gotten some updates on park development here in Fiddyment Farm and Westpark. Both Fiddyment Farm and Westpark residents are part of the West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP). We pay for our parks development through our home purchase and maintenance through Roseville CFD (Mello-Roos) for ALL parks in the WRSP. For exact locations of the parks download the PDF Land Use plan for the WRSP. WRSP_LUM oct 2014.pdf F-50 Laurel Stizzo Park (next to Fiddyment Farm Elementary School): From Tara Gee at Roseville Parks & Recreation Department: "Yes, there has been a delay. Two things: 1) We are still awaiting a city-wide approval for the plans. It's been in that process for a bit longer than anticipated; 2) We recently bid another park project and had no bidders. The information we received indicated that contractors are too busy and that there is a shortage in available subcontractors to work on new projects. This equates to no bids or bids that are excessively high. We are targeting to bid the project in October for an early Spring 2017 start date. This is in hopes that more contractors are available and that we will receive more competitive bids. Nothing is a guarantee, but we do anticipate better results. We appreciate your patience. It just seems one thing happens after another. We remain committed to pushing forward and get this park built." W-50 A (park near the new elementary school west of the power plant): Public Workshop #1, Held August 30th. Public Workshop #2 is held October 4 at Junction Elementary. Targeted start of construction is Spring 2018. Currently, we are accepting name suggestions for this park. The advertisement period closes on September 23rd. I have attached the forms for ease. Completed forms can be submitted to the City Clerk’s office by 3 pm on September 23rd. W-50 B (small park near Westbrook): This will a developer built project. Pulte Homes would like to begin construction next Summer (2017). We are currently negotiating terms of the construction agreement and hope to be completed this Fall. W-50 C, and D (small parks at the north and south ends of Westpark phase IV): No current plans for these two parks, as yet. W-51 (larger park near the open space at south end of Westpark phase IV): This park will be slated to begin design in Fall of 2017. W-54 (park area near village center): No new updates on this site. F-51 (park to be built near the 4th elementary school in Fiddyment Farm): No current plans on this park as yet. F-52 (park near the open space west of Fiddyment and just north of the open space (creek): This park is slated to begin design in Fall 2017.

Schools Committee Meeting Summary for August 16,2016
Schools Committee Meeting Summary August 16,2016 7:00-8:30 1) Introductions: The attendees introduced themselves. 2) Updates for Measure D: Ron Severson and Shannon Blockton were present. Ron explained that the Bond initiative is officially Measure D and will be on the bottom of our ballots in November. He explained the various projects that would be completed for all the high schools, one of which is 103 years old. (Roseville High School.) He said they need a projected $250,000.00 for the campaign; they now have $50, 000.00. He said he will be meeting with local developers soon to see if they will contribute. He added that the District accelerates Bonds when rates go down. He said he talked about the Measure to families at the Neighborhood Night Out at Festerson. If the Measure passes, it will take the plans from December 2016 to January 2018 to pass through the State approval process. Groundbreaking would be 2018, with the first Phase built in time for the 2020 school term. After the Measure passes, a committee will pick a school name, mascot and colors. He was asked if students could go to Woodcreek instead of Oakmont. Ron responded that no more trailers can be added to that campus. Measure D flyer and envelopes for contributions were distributed. He said signs are a specific way to promote passage of Measure D. One of the neighbors brought up the busing schedule for Oakmont, saying his daughter gets up very early to catch the bus. Shannon B. said she would send him information/links for the schedules. Ron said he believes all the routes have been worked out well. 3) Elementary School Updates: Inroads are being made at Junction Elementary. Curtis is on the site committee and was invited to have a booth at the PTO sponsored Popsicle Party on August 25, 2016. He is proposing getting Tshirts with a message about the future sixth High School on them for the students to wear. We discussed trying to get contact with Fiddyment Farm Elementary. Loren said that the NAs can give students government service credit. 4) School Board Elections: Loren Cook spoke about the candidates, some of which by meeting time have not been confirmed as a candidate. The City of Roseville Election Department has the names of candidates for the Elementary School Board and the High School Board. Loren suggested we invite all the candidates to a forum at Chilton Middle School for our next meeting on September 20th. An MC and questions and impartial panel to ask questions would be needed. We would also have to do a flyer to announce this. Sue and Curt will get the ball rolling on this event. 5) Roundtable: One of the attendees wondered if government teachers from the High Schools could be contacted to help with Measure D. Colleen wondered what contributions to the Measure D group go toward? The response was signs and campaign materials, more than likely. 6) Next Meeting: We will meet at Chilton Middle School, 4501 Bob Doyle Drive, Roseville on September 20, 2016. In September, meetings will resume at Chilton Middle School through year end.

He will post some pictures. 3) Issues for Discussion: a) There were no agenda items from the floor. b) Bond updates: From the FF/WPNA Board meeting on July 12th: We reviewed the minutes from the general Board meeting from July 12th. We discussed the comments from FFNA Board Member-at-Large Pete Constant.

Sue VZ will set up a meeting with Pete and Curtis Hunter. 4) Roundtable: a) Since we have not heard from Shannon Blockton as to the Public Relations Committee she is spearheading and we have received the Bond language for the ballot, Sue VZ will contact Shannon for updates and then share with the committee and residents. b) Connie Logg wanted more information on where the Bond money went, and was spent. Sue VZ will send her information that was discussed with Joe Landon. 1) Next Meeting: We will meet at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 2351 Pleasant Grove Blvd, Roseville on August 16, 2016.

Contact the District for information. That the public should contact Shannon Blockton at RJUHSD to volunteer for the Bond campaign. That Susan Rohan, soon to be Roseville’s Mayor, will head the Bond Committee. The results of the poll have been outlined in a booklet titled: “Building the Foundation for Success.” Shannon brought several copies. Loren Cook approached the Superintendent and Paige Stauss about the monies from Mello Roos that have been collected over many years. The purpose is to collect monies for Schools and Police and Fire. He asked if they had looked into these monies. Ron S. responded that they have not received any money from the City, who holds those funds. One of the attendees suggested the Board look at other alternatives for building the school, namely corporations and hospitals in the area. He said these entities have built schools in the Bay Area. 2) Elementary School Updates: The framing is now being built for the newest school in WestPark and is still slated to open in Fall 2018. Builders are the developers: WestPark Communities and Signature Properties. 3) 6th High School Steering Committee met on June 1, 2016: Dan reported that the Superintendent gave the same presentation as tonight’s here. 4) Next Meeting: We will meet at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 2351 Pleasant Grove Blvd, Roseville on July 19, 2016. In September, meetings will resume at Chilton Middle School.

Schools Committee Meeting Summary for May 17, 2016
Review/Old Business: A) Bond Money: The Committee reviewed the second round of Q & A’s sent to the RJUHSD in April. (Attached) The Committee will review the link to California Tax Data to look at how the Bonds will be paid off in ten years. Of note is that the proposed Bond for the November ballot (to cover High School repairs and the $30 million needed to close the financing gap of the 6th High School) requires 55% to pass rather than a two-thirds majority. The Committee also discussed the use of developer fees in regards to the RJUHSD. Developer fees can be used to help with school site repairs and leased portables. The District has saved much of the developer fees. The District pointed out that developer fees cannot be used to pay teacher's salaries, or for textbooks. The Committee reviewed the fact that the proposed Bond will be voted on by communities with individuals over 55. The entire District will pay their portion of the Bond which equates to $15.00 per $100,000 assessed value per year. The Committee feels it is necessary for the City and HS District and this Committee meet to discuss the accounting of collected taxes and fees. C) Draft letter of introduction/cooperation with Roseville Elementary School District and local PTOs: still being developed. D) Sign for future 6th High School: Loren Cook talked to the City of Roseville and it was determined that Signature Homes needs to update the sign. All signs need to have a sticker on them denoting registration with the City. There has been a general clean-up of signs recently because of this regulation. E) School Board Forum: in process New Business: The Superintendent of High Schools, Ron Severson, called a meeting for a few of the Committee members: Loren Cook, Scott Alvord, and Sue Van Zant. He gave us a March Soundbite document and a student attendance chart. (Attached) The attendees discussed that the District is very motivated to get the funding and begin the 6th High School building project. They have reduced the bus pass from $225 a year to $50 per year for the 2017/2018 school year to help the parents who have to bus their students. The projected date for ground breaking will be 2018, with the High School opening in the Fall of 2020 with 9th and 10th graders. In general, the Committee discussed the pros of the school being built: the HS School District growth will outpace room in the current schools; the fact that home and property values will increase; the added value to the community in activities, a sense of community and identity for West Roseville; and the fact that so many parents want their children to attend a school nearer to their homes. We feel that the Schools Committee has made itself a presence in the development of the 6th High School so that it will keep on track. Roundtable: The Committee discussed the survey that went out to some homes in West Roseville. Sue Van Zant has an email out to the HS District as to which homes got the survey and how to get one if requested. She will keep us updated. Because of a larger turnout for the meeting, it was established that all the handouts from the meeting will be posted, along with these minutes. Next Meeting: Due to Chilton being closed for the summer break, the Schools Committee will meet at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 2351 Pleasant Grove Blvd, Roseville on the following dates: June 21st, July 19th and August 16th. In September, meetings will resume at Chilton Middle School.
