Section 5.15 School Facilities Section 5.15 School Facilities SECTION 5.15 SCHOOL FACILITIES This section identifies school facilities within the City of Buena Park and evaluates the potential impacts to school services and facilities that could result from implementation of the proposed General Plan Update. Mitigation measures to reduce the significance of impacts are recommended, as necessary. 5.15.1 EXISTING SETTING SCHOOL FACILITIES There are five elementary and two high school districts serving students living within the City of Buena Park. These school districts provide educational services for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. School facilities within these seven districts include 14 elementary schools, one junior high school, one high school, one alternative high school, and one special education center. Refer to Table 5.15-1, Public School Characteristics, for enrollment and capacity information for the public schools currently serving the City. Additionally, the Speech and Language Development Center is located at 8699 Holder Street and three private schools are located within the City of Buena Park, including the Crescent Avenue Christian School, Rossier Park School, and Saint Pius V School. SCHOOL FUNDING In order to accommodate students from new development projects, school districts may alternatively finance new schools through special school construction funding resolutions and/or agreements between developers, the affected school districts, and occasionally, other local governmental agencies. These special resolutions and agreements often allow school districts to realize school mitigation funds in excess of the developer fees allowed under SB 50. Table 5.15-2, School Development Fees, identifies the current fees each school district charges for new development within the applicable school district. It should be noted that these fees are subject to annual review and are anticipated to change during the General Plan buildout horizon. Although there is the potential for existing and future students within Buena Park to attend private institutions, these schools are privately funded and do not receive SB 50 developer fees. 5.15.2 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AB 2926 The State of California has traditionally been responsible for the funding of local public schools. To assist in providing facilities to serve students generated by new development projects, the State passed Assembly Bill 2926 (AB 2926) in 1986. This bill allowed school districts to collect impact fees from developers of new residential and commercial/industrial building space. Development impact fees were also referenced in the 1987 Leroy Greene Lease-Purchase Act, which required school districts to contribute a matching share of project costs for construction, modernization, or reconstruction.

Page 5.15-2 Draft EIR September 2010 Buena Park General Plan Update School Facilities Table 5.15-2 School Development Fees Development Fees School District Residential Non-residential Buena Park School District Fees for new development are negotiated with Fullerton Joint Union High School District each developer and the needs of the district.1 Centralia School District $1.315/SF $0.21/ SF Cypress Elementary School District $2.97/ SF $0.47/ SF Savanna School District $1.315/ SF $0.21/ SF Magnolia School and Anaheim Union High School Districts* $2.97/ SF $0.47/ SF Anaheim Union High School District $1.315/ SF $0.21/ SF 1. This fee is split between the two districts. SENATE BILL (SB) 50 Senate Bill 50 (SB 50) and Proposition 1A, both of which passed in 1998, provided a comprehensive school facilities financing and reform program, in part by authorizing a $9.2 billion school facilities bond issue, school construction cost containment provisions and an eight- year suspension of the Mira, Hart and Murrieta court cases. Specifically, the bond funds are to provide $2.9 billion for new construction and $2.1 billion for reconstruction/modernization needs. The provisions of SB 50 prohibit local agencies from denying either legislative or adjudicative land use approvals on the basis that school facilities are inadequate, and reinstates the school facility fee cap for legislative actions (e.g., General Plan amendments, Specific Plan adoption, Zoning Ordinance amendments) as was allowed under the Mira, Hart and Murrieta court cases. According to Government Code Section 65996, the development fees authorized by SB 50 are deemed to be “full and complete school facilities mitigation.” These provisions are in effect until 2006 as long as subsequent State bonds are approved and available. SB 50 establishes three levels of Developer Fees that may be imposed upon new development by the governing board of a school district depending upon certain conditions within a district. Level One Fees are the statutory fees, which can be adjusted for inflation every two years. Level Two Fees allow school districts to impose fees beyond the base statutory cap, under specific circumstances. Level Three Fees come into effect if the State runs out of bond funds after 2006, which would allow school districts to impose 100 percent of the cost of the school facility or mitigation minus any local dedicated school monies. The school fee amounts provided for in Government Code Sections 65995, 65995.5 and 65995.7 would constitute full and complete mitigation for school facilities. In order to accommodate students from new development projects, school districts may alternatively finance new schools through special school construction funding resolutions and/or agreements between developers, the affected school districts, and occasionally, other local governmental agencies. These special resolutions and agreements often allow school districts to realize school mitigation funds in excess of the developer fees allowed under SB 50. Draft EIR Page 5.15-3 Buena Park General Plan Update September 2010 School Facilities 5.15.3 SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLD CRITERIA Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines contains the Initial Study Environmental Checklist, which was included with the Notice of Preparation to show the areas being analyzed within the EIR; refer to Appendix A of this EIR. The Initial Study includes questions relating to schools. The issues presented in the Initial Study Checklist have been utilized as thresholds of significance in this Section. Accordingly, school facility impacts resulting from the implementation of the proposed General Plan Update may be considered significant if they would result in the following: . A significant impact would occur if the project would result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or result in the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which may cause significant environmental impacts in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, or other performance objectives for schools in the City of Buena Park. Based on this standard, the effects of the proposed project have been categorized as either a “less than significant impact” or a “potentially significant impact.” Mitigation measures are recommended for a potentially significant impact. If a potentially significant impact cannot be reduced to a less than significant level through the application of mitigation,

  • WASC 2019 Self-Study Report
    1 I PREFACE The North Orange County Regional Occupational Program (NOCROP) 2019 WASC Self-Study Process has been a collaborative effort over the last eighteen months involving various stakeholders. During this time, the WASC Leadership Team facilitated opportunities to reflect on NOCROP’s mission of student success and the Career Technical Education experience we offer. NOCROP’s self-study process began in October 2017 with the review of accreditation criteria by Dana Lynch, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services. In December 2017, the WASC Executive Team was formed to facilitate the process and Jennifer Prado, Patient Care Pathways Instructor was selected to serve as the 2019 Self-Study Coordinator. The self-study process was officially launched with a WASC Executive Team Meeting in February 2018, where Focus Group Chairs and Co-Chairs were assigned, and timelines were established. Focus Group work related to students and instruction commenced via Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings during March, April, and May 2018. Individual meetings for the remaining Focus Groups were held during those same months. The focus on reviewing data and reflecting on its meaning has become more important and work was started early. The Educational Services Department provided data updates to instructional staff at the start of PLC meetings and guided them to reflect on its meaning, impact on them individually, and impact to the organization. Further review of data took place during NOCROP’s Back-to- School In-Service in August 2018 and at Spring In-Service in January 2019, which resulted in the implications identified in Chapter 1 of this document.
