  34. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District Part II: Funding

  35. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District RECOMMENDATION: Community Facility District Funding Based on the sale of Community Facility District (CFD) Certificates of Participation (CFD’s), the initial decision regarding the use of the CFD bonds, as well as the first general obligation bond issuance, need to be revised.

  36. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District RECOMMENDATION: CFD’s The sale of the CFD Certificates of Participation was done under the legal terms that these funds can only be used to fund projects and/or equipment purchases that are new and necessary because of enrollment increases caused by the sale of new housing. Thus, there is the need to RECOMMEND revising the initial decisions regarding the use of the initial G/O Bond issuance and CFD COP’S.

  37. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District INFORMATION: FUNDING

  38. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School RECOMMENDATION: G/O BONDS G/O Bond “Bridge Financing” $164,000,000 (+/-)  Done using Certificates of Participation (COP’s)  Same process as used prior to bond referendum G/O Bond Referendum $275,000,000 First Issuance ($ 90,000,000) COP’s ($164,000,000) Remaining $ 21,000,000

  39. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School INFORMATION: State Funding SFP GRANT ELIGIBILITY – STATE

  40. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District INFORMATION: State Funding  OPSC Enrollment Projection: - CBEDS count (current + 3 prior years; cohort) - Special Education Severe/Non-Severe counts - Planned new dwelling units approved Tentative Tract Maps - Student generation factor  OPSC Classroom Capacity  OPSC Eligibility Baseline (difference of capacity v. students)

  41. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District NEW CONSTRUCTION ELIGIBILITY Sample Calculation Current 5-Yr. Proj. Enrollment: K-6 22,556 Previous 5-Yr Proj. Enrollment (04/05) K-6 (26,126) Equals Change in student grants which ( 3,570) either adds to or subtracts from eligibility Funds returned on cancelled projects or expired funding add back grants 375

  42. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District NEW CONSTRUCTION ELIGIBILITY: Sample Calculation Summary Previous Eligibility K-6 2,249 Change due to previous eligibility (3,570) Grants from funds returned 375 New Grant Eligibility K-6 (946)

  43. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District CAUSES OF DECLINE IN SFP GRANT ELIGIBILITY • Decrease in student enrollment. • Fewer planned new developments or developments not built. • Student generation rate lower perhaps due to families with children moving to less expensive housing – families that can afford higher priced housing may have fewer children or older children. • State projection method is heavily weighted on recent enrollment.

  44. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District THE PERFECT STORM - Fontana Unified School District  Funding, site issues, and approval timeframes mean schools haven’t been built for the enrollment increases occurring up until 2004/05.  Declining enrollment over the last 2 years has now reduced eligibility, but new schools are still needed to reduce overcrowding and accommodate past growth.  Local funding is now available for the 50% match due to g/o bonds and CFD COP’s, but State funding is not availability because of a lack of grant eligibility.  With out local funding there is not sufficient funding to accomplish all needed projects.

  45. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District What could increase SFP Grant Eligibility? (1) Most important: Increase CBEDS enrollment (2) Increases in tentative tract maps approved for new developments

  46. FACILITIES WORK SESSION 05.09.07Fontana Unified School District What strategies can we work on to gain SFP Grant Eligibility? • Increase student CBEDS enrollment next 2 years • Apply for State funding before occupancy – giving time for enrollment to increase during construction • Investigate feasibility of enrollment projections by High School Attendance Areas to address high growth areas showing enrollment increases • Review and rescind projects for which funding has been received that are currently on hold or for which funding has expired. Reclaim unused grants to reduce negative eligibility and potentially use to claim State funding for priority projects.
