2. How are Capital Facilities Funded in RUSD?
District budget provides about 5 million annually for Deferred Maintenance
District budget provides about 4 million annually for Routine Restricted Maintenance
Monies specific for New Facilities
Collection of Developer Fees amounts to million annually for Facility Improvements and to mitigate growth – i.e. additional portable classrooms
Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) to mitigate student enrollment at school site(s) which serve the students generated from the developments
Redevelopment funds improvement projects within identified areas of the city i.e. new tennis courts at a high school within the Redevelopment area (these funds are no longer being generated)

3. School Districts must rely on local funding through General Obligation Bonds and the state School Facility Program for
New construction
Modernization
Over-Crowding Relief

4. In 2001 RUSD passed Measure B: 175 million General Obligation bond
The District had significant facility needs identified in our Facility Improvement Plan
The School Facilities Program had authority for funding which provided a 50/50 match for New Construction and a 60/40 match for Modernization
The District matched $175,000,000 in Measure B Bond dollars with the School Facility Program funding for New Construction and Modernization projects
The District has completed over $350,000,000 in projects utilizing Measure B Bond dollars and available School Facilities Program funding

5. Fast forward to 2016 The SFP is over-allocated.
SFP monies have been committed to projects with a backlog of unfunded projects
Matching funds are not available to Districts
Local dollars must fund 100% of projects

8. District Needs are greater than available Local Funds
RUSD has identified 1.3 billion in need through our recently completed Long Range Facility Master Plan
A Statewide Bond will support Districts with Facility Needs, over and above Regular Routine, Deferred Maintenance and Required Seismic and ADA upgrades
A Statewide Bond will provide matching funds to Districts for New Construction and Modernization of existing Facilities
A Statewide Bond will support Districts with Facility Needs, Improvements and Growth
