$77 Billion in excess revenue isn't enough?

$77 Billion in excess revenue isn't enough?

Intentionally underfunding wealthy suburban school districts keeps new revenue streams flowing:

Fundraising and Donations

Parcel Taxes

School Facilities Bonds

and the list goes on and on and on!

The State then uses this $77 billion (with a "B") dollar slush fund to pay for programs and entitlements that are not constitutionally mandated, and to PROMOTE and IMPLEMENT political agendas such as redistribution of wealth and green energy, and to reward unions and business that support the current ruling party and keep them in office through on time grants that are mandated to be spent on professional development and new technology and training.

NONE OF THE GRANT MONEY MAKES IT TO THE CLASSROOM- but educators and businesses that do business with local school districts are profiting greatly... at the expense of students and taxpayers.

Now Developers want to get their hands on school district properties and cash strapped school districts are happy to sell district Property at a low price and buy new school sites at high prices. Everyone wins except the taxpayers and the students.

Is CUSD in the Education business or the Property Development Business?

CUSD has five land deals in the works:

CUSD Purchased Escencia K-8 School Site for $3.4 million per acre- they agreed to value the land as if it had 100 entitlements on it but did not receive any entitlements. This result: CUSD Gifted the Ranch $13 million in Taxpayer dollars.
This land has NO ENTITLEMENTS. The school site is 14 acres of dirt and CUSD paid $33.86 million - $2.4 million per acre.

Pacifica San Juan San Juan Capistrano - CUSD just spent $700,000 of Pacifica San Juan Mello Roos funds to change the zoning on a property they do not even own- why? Windfall profits if they partner with a developer to build high density low-income housing on the property... 18.1 homes per acre in a single family neighborhood.

Paseo De Colinas Laguna Niguel - CUSD was leasing this land to a car dealership for around $33,000.00 a year. They renegotiated the lease to $131,000.00 per year and then proceeded to put the land up for sale. When asked if the car dealer knew the land was being sold- they all laughed when Clark said "if they don't know yet... they will know soon." The real plan ... to partner with a developer to build high-density low income housing.

Dana Point Bus Yard: September 9, 2017 CUSD BOT Meeting PUBLIC HEARING Agenda Item #1 and Resolution #1718-17 Agenda Item #31 Ratifying the 2006 Declaration of Surplus Property, Declaring the intent to offer the property for ground lease, and authorizing a request for the waiver of competitive bidding procedures. CUSD wants to partner with a developer to build high density low-income housing on the property.

Upper Campus San Clemente High - Superintendent Vital now refers to this as "Condemned Property". This 180' degree Ocean View Cliff top property will also be used to partner with a developer to build high density low-income housing on the property.
CUSD is such a good friend to San Clemente: We get a NEW Toll Road (double decker) - Solar Panels and High Density housing splitting our town in half and ruining the quaint small "Village by the Sea"
