The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.

  • City of Malibu's Petition for Unification
    CITY OF MALIBU’S PETITION FOR UNIFICATION OF A NEW MALIBU UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM SANTA MONICA-MALIBU UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT EDUCATION CODE § 35700 et seq Executive Summary The City of Malibu (“City”) has submitted a petition for unification (“Petition”) to the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization (“County Committee”) because the Malibu City Council and Malibu students, parents, and residents strongly feel it is in the best interest of the entire Malibu community to separate from the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (“SM-MUSD” or “District”) and form a new, independent Malibu Unified School District (“MUSD”). Malibu area students have been denied the quality of education they deserve. With separation, both future school districts - MUSD and Santa Monica Unified School District (“SMUSD”) - will achieve greater per student funding and be better suited to address the specific needs of their respective communities. A majority of SM-MUSD students, approximately 85 percent, reside in the Santa Monica area. The SM-MUSD administration focuses on the needs and goals of those students to the detriment of Malibu area students. The rural Malibu community is very different than the urban Santa Monica community, and Malibu students’ needs are not being met under the current school district structure. Further, Malibu residents do not have local control due to the relative size of the Malibu voter base as compared to the Santa Monica voter base. Unification is the only solution that will enable Malibu-area residents to determine how to best educate our their students. Everyone agrees separation should occur. “[C]onsensus has been reached by It is not practical for these two communities – Malibu and Santa Monica – to be joined together.
