Of Note: CUSD is in legal battles over the it’s Mello Roos accounts.

Note regarding Impaction Issues:

CUSD has many impaction issues- overcrowded classrooms- schools that can no longer accommodate the number of students in attendance. The District is facing challenges of verifying residency because there is no room at schools in Mello Roos Districts. The District is facing large increases in students from new developments, and has an overall lack of capacity and no funds to address facilities maintenance and construction issues.

6. Increase facility energy efficiency - Capital Outlay State Defined $2 million

No money was spent
