School Capacity Analysis

Purpose of the School Capacity and Consolidation Committee (SCCC)
On December 16, 2020, the Board approved revisions to Board Policy 7100, Determining Needs, to develop criteria for annual reviews of school capacity. Based on the California Department of Education Best Practices, a DAC will study school capacity data, gather facts, and bring a recommendation for future school capacity.

The SCCC will review challenges and needs specifically surrounding school facilities and capacity. Based on the California Department of Education Best Practices, the makeup of the DAC will include members of the community and District staff. This committee will be independent of the Board of Trustees and the Superintendent.
