FROM: Tom Torlakson, Chairman
Board of Supervisors
SUBJECT: Task Force regarding Proposition 26 and Long-Term
Solutions to School Facilities Financing
Meetings have been held over the past several months between educators
in the East County school districts and the major residential developers
in East County in an effort to solve the short-term problem of providing
adequate temporary school facilities for the Oakley and Liberty school
districts. I understand we may be close to resolving that problem, .at
least for the current school year. However, this is understood by all
parties to be a short-term solution for the current school year. It does
not adequately address the options that may be available for a longer
term solution.
On September 11 , I expect the Board of Supervisors to authorize me to
convene a Task Force to identify and deal with these longer range
alternatives. In anticipation of such authorization, I have set up a
meeting which I would like you to attend. The purpose of the meeting
will be to identify various alternatives for longer range solution to
the need for permanent school facilities financing, and determine a course
of action. This will include discussion of Proposition 26 on the November 6
ballot and various other legislative solutions we might pursue. The
meeting will be at:
George Gordon Education Center
