District Executive Director of Human
Resources and Facilities Dylan Farris provided
an update on ongoing and planned
facility projects at the various school sites.
These programs are funded, in part, through
developer fees associated with the Imperial
Street School property land sale, and dovetail
with ESUSD’s Long Range Facility Master
Plan, utilized to guide ongoing maintenance
and care decisions, both long-and-short term.
Construction and upgrade projects consider
district goals, board priorities and available
funding. The 2016 Master Plan, which identified
the most important facility needs over
a 10-year period, delineated the need for
$92-plus-million in district-wide improvements
to facilities and infrastructure upgrades.
Among the current and pending construction:
Two new classrooms and a restroom
building at Center Street School (CSS); four
new classrooms at El Segundo Middle School
(ESMS); and Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) upgrades at both of those campuses.
Planned construction during the 2018 school
summer break include HVAC installation in
the Science Building at El Segundo High
School; stairway renovation at Richmond
Street School (RSS); and the demolition
and replacement of the aging Madsen House
after-school-care facility at RSS.
With both CSS and ESMS operating at full
capacity, school officials emphasize that the
new buildings are sorely needed to continue
to offer students a top-flight educational
experience. Farris’s presentation noted that
three middle school teachers are currently
“homeless.” Farris said it was a logistical
task to keep up with enrollment numbers.
He also mentioned the challenge of updating
the ADA compliance options foisted upon
school districts by the state.
The 25-minute presentation, in which Farris
humorously said he was tasked to be concise
by unnamed folks, and termed it “succinct
“at its conclusion, ended with a cost estimate
summary for the current and pending projects,
which included the summer of 2017 turf
replacement at El Segundo High. The tab:
A tad bit over $4 million, which Farris said
was “a very conservative estimate.”
“This is an important presentation,” Moore
said, “because we are now moving into the
use [of some of the proceeds garnered from
the Imperial Street property sale].”
Representatives of Clifford Moss, a political
strategy and public affairs firm based
in Oakland, next spoke, with Tom Clifford
and senior advisor Linda Crotty making the
evening’s final presentation and sharing with
the board members the current results of
what was termed a “Community Engagement
and Listening Effort” in regard to possibly
placing a school bond initiative on the ballot
this summer.
One of the possibly pertinent pieces that
the duo shared from their telephone surveys
was that during what was termed the
“initial” ballot test, more than 63 percent
of the respondents were either or probably
in favor of passing a bond; and nearly 28
percent were either or probably against the
bond. When the final ballot test was posited,
only 52.4 percent of the responders were in
the yes category, while 35 percent resided
in the “no” camp.
Clifford lauded the steps the District has
taken to do its due diligence in laying the
groundwork with the master plan to keep
students at the forefront of success. The
initial ballot question floated in March 2017
mentioned the possible issuance of $92 million
in bonds, which may be reduced a little
as the Board continues to research District
needs and fiscally responsibility.
Board President Emilee Layne thanked
the Clifford Moss speakers, and asked for
stakeholder input as she and her colleagues
grapple with the bond initiative process. “This
is important,” she said. “We now have our
marching orders.”
Earlier in the meeting, Ed! Foundation
CEO Carol Pirsztuk noted two upcoming
events of interest to the community: Ed!
Guys Night Out, which will be hosted by
Beach City Baseball Academy on March 2;
and The Academy by Ed! Summer Session,
which will commence on June 18.
Tuesday’s consent agenda items included
personnel service reports, approval of conference
schedules, and purchase orders, as
well as scheduling a special budget study
session penciled in for Saturday, Feb. 24.
Also approved was an agreement with Addiction
Treatment Technology that will provide
“vetted and reliable mental health, counseling
and addiction treatment resources” to ESUSD
families. Moore said she was pleased the
District will take part in this pilot program,
and that the main office will get the word
out about the new resource for families.
“What we are finding out,” Moore said, “is
that parents are interested in having access
to vetted resources. It is really a great tool
and service to our parents.”
The Board also allocated nearly $23,000
to enter into a consultant agreement with
True North Research to assist in the ongoing
bond feasibility survey -- with the goal being
the production of “an unbiased, statistically
reliable evaluation of voters in supporting a
bond issue,” and ability to link the proposed
bond measure with established community
priorities..
