S.-1 19-2517 Adoption by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 1920-0182 - 2020 Oakland Unified School District Facilities Master Plan*.
___
*Note: As Amended In Facilities Committee on April 24, 2020.
Facilities Master Plan (FMP) was written by S.F. consultant MKThink for $422,950 of Measure J property tax. Ca. Constitution Article 13, amendment 39, accountability provision requires bond measure proceeds only be for the specific projects on the 2012 voter approved listing of school construction projects. Was this consultant contract related to any projects on the voter approved 2012 list of school construction projects?
No. The drafting of a new FMP is not entitled to be funded by school construction Measure J bond proceeds. Any citizen residing in the Oakland school community, and with a liability for paying Ad Valorem tax on their Oakland property, has the standing under the Education Code to stop this abuse and waste by this School Board of Measure J proceeds by bringing an action to obtain an order restraining and preventing any expenditure of funds received by OUSD through the sale of bonds. Taking their bond funds away is the way to stop the Board's behavior.
Item# 19-2517: The Facilities Master Plan is a good document. This FMP's is a dynamic document that can and should accommodate addendums/updates.
Comment/Recommendation #1: All district properties should have a Project Assessment of Needs regardless of current use, some properties do not. Starting on page 64; some examples of no assessment: Thurgood Marshall, Kaiser, Golden Gate, Cole, Whittier and Hawthorne.
Comment/Recommendation #2: Board Policies 7110 and 7110.1 FMP and Living School yards should be recognized in FMP and align with this FMP and have link provided. Ref: page 53 - Project Priorities
Comment/Recommendation #3: Board Policy 7112 - GO Bond Prioritization and Administrative Regulation 7112 - Bond Prioritization Process should be recognized in FMP and align with this FMP and have link provided. Ref: page 53 - Project Priorities
