BCS Part 2 - BCS Board members question the visiting LASD trustees, Oct. 1, 2018

BCS Board members took turns asking the LASD trustees question. The BCS board members took their turn from the left end of the table to the right end as you view it in the video. Both LASD’s Bryan Johnson and Vladamir Ivanovich gave answers. There is a fuller timetable of QUESTIONS with ANSWERS at www.losaltospolitico.com. Google limits this description space to 5000 characters 00:30 - First BCS Board Member. David Jacques. How willing a selling was Kohls? What is the portability of these TDRs? 3:10 - Second. Anne Waterman Roy. What is your enrollment growth this year. It looks like you have space capacity now? But you say there might be a spike up in the future? What data analysis do you have? If enrollment declined 500 students over the past 5 years when not put the spike in the current District empty spots? 07:05 Ann Waterman Roy. I worked for the Boston School District. I note that your demographer used a “yield” of 1/2 student per housing unit. His forecasts for the area have turned out to be lower than forecast. A little redrawing of boundaries would be relatively easy [to make better use of the currently unused capacity in the system] 09;00 VI: You are ignoring the 900 students at BCS. With that, enrollment is flat. 09:45 If the deal fell through, are there other solutions? ANSWER: BJ: Yes, we looked at those at the Sept. 27 board meeting. But this the best solution for all people, especially NEC. It adds 4 acres of open space at a school to the NEC area. 10:40 Overall all enrollment ( BCS plus LASD) is up over 1000 student over 10 years. [Lalahpolitico: Correct, 900 of it is at BCS!] 11:40 You say Kohls is the best option. Which other options were considered? Answer: Covington 13:35 Andrea Eyring. Can you explain about the 11.5 acres at the Kohl’s being sold by Federal Realty. What is the use of the Greystar purchased 2 acres? Answer: It is a 24x7 park, not for school programs. 14:00 Eyring: In other words, Kohl’s is a 9.5 acre school site. What made you think that was enough for a large enrollment school? 15:15 Eyring: What is the time frame for an analysis of how many students in various grade configurations could be accommodated there? 16:15 Eyring: You say Santa Rita and Almond are Full even the portables? What is the capacity of just the buildings? 17:05 Eyring: Why is there just a demographer’s presentation and no full report this year? 17:45 Eyring: Can you tell us what the enrollment is this fall? ANSWER: I don’t know it. 18:05 Eyring: How is it cheaper to use new land? 19:30 Eyring: What is the Importance of a neighborhood school in the NEC area? 21:55 Rich Ying: So is it you intention to house BCS there? 23:15 Rich Ying - Have you considered the TDR risk factors? 25:30 Do you have a back-up plan…you could be buying at the top of the market…and then get caught in a fall? BJ: Yes we have looked into that 27:00 After you close on the site how long till you design the school and open the school? 28:15 Next Board Member - Let’s get back to the EIR - Environmental Impact Report. Have you identified the gating factors? 29:35 You say planning for a school is premature now. But I worry that you are not going to design to a budget; but are going to be trying to find a budget for an unknown design. 30:45 When will the TDRs materialize to finalize a construction budget? 31:50: Some of the key themes on the Thought Exchange online discussion board were Safety and Transportation. Have you considered how to mitigate the issue of traffic at the Kohl’s 10th site? 32:40 DID YOU DO A TRAFFIC STUDY or a traffic discussion? How will you address the issues? 34:20 ANSWER: VI: The CEQA process will bring out any issues in detail. And the City of MV says it is responsible. 34:50 Withe respect to maximizing current resources, If the deal does not close what would the back-up plan be? 36:20 How much new housing are you assuming in NEC? 38:00 With more units and more traffic how can you not prioritize a neighborhood school on the Kohl’s site? 40:10 Ms. Roa: If BCS is there, what to do with NEC kids? Why was this Del Medio Park forum with NEC people held only last week? 42:55 Dr. Suttcliffe. So BCS being there might not be permanent, but just till NEC grows? 44:00 How can BCS be included in the design of a school there? 45:25 What would the short-term plans be for BCS till this school opens in 2022? 46:45 Joe Hurd. 1) explain again how come the 10th site is 9.5 not 11.5 acres. 2) Confirm that Santa Rita, Almond, Covington, Egan are at capacity? YES. So the rest are not at capacity? Correct? 3) Have you released your 2018 LASD only enrollment numbers? 50:25 4) About the 10th site Task Force, was it allowed to consider reconfiguration of existing LASD properties? 51:25 5) Have you hear of the group Creative Facilities Solutions? 52:15 You seem to say “When a school is working well, don’t disrupt it.” Do you agree the same logic applies to BCS?
