| This Reimbursement Agreement serves to acknowledge that the District will reimburse property owners the difference between the Level III and Level II fee amounts once the District receives state funding for said project.
History
On September 7, the Board adopted resolution 2016-17 #18 authorizing the imposition of Alternative School Facility Fees, also known as Level II and Level III fees on all new residential construction within the district. The Level III Fee is intended to represent one hundred percent (100%) of a school district’s school facility costs and may be imposed when the State Allocation Board (SAB) is no longer apportioning State Funding. On November 1, the SAB sent notification that it is no longer apportioning State Funding therefore triggering our ability to levy Level III fees. The District intends to impose Level III fees until State Funding is available for school facilities.
At the January 17, 2017 Board Meeting, the Governing Board approved the Reimbursement Agreement Document with the understanding that the agreement(s) would then come back to the Governing Board for ratification. |

| Historically, the parent groups at our school sites have supplemented the instruction program with additional programs, workshops, and assemblies. Many of the parent groups have signed agreements with the Santa Clarita Community College District, PAC K-12 Arts Education Programs. These programs happen during the school day and are the responsibility of the District. District knowledge of how these agreements worked happened well after many of the agreements were in place for the 2017-2018 school year so we planned to make changes to this process before next school year. Some parent groups voiced their preference of the District taking responsibility for the contracts this year. The District will sign and process these agreement confirmations, pay the invoices, and then send invoices to the parent groups that have agreed to fund the programs, workshops, and/or assemblies. |
