PUBLIC HEARINGS
LCDI UNIFIED Notice thereof having been published in accordance with
r SCHOOL DISTRICT law and affidavit of publication being on file in the office
DECLARATION OF of the City Clerk, Nlayor Olson called for the Public Hearing
INIaAGTICN to consider the 1983-84 Declaration of Impaction by the Lodi
�-
F�J Unified School District Board of Trustees.
The matter was introduced by Eilerth E. Larson,
Superintendent of Schools. Mary Joan Starr, Facility
Planner for the Lodi Unified School District gave a report
concerning the matter and responded to questions regarding
the subject as were posed by members of the City Council.
The following information regarding the subject was provided
Council.
The projected Lodi Unified School District student
enrollment for the 1983-84 school year is 16,433 students.
This is a projected increase of approximately 400 students
over last year and does not take into account any sudden
influx of students which might occur as the result of
significant residential construction within the District.
In January, 1983, local agencies and developers reported
probable summertime construction of approximately 710
residential units with an additional 5,000± units in the
planning stages.
18%, or more importantly, 3,047 of the statistically
projected number of students planned for arrival are
considered "unhoused," meaning that there are insufficient
regular classrooms available in the coming school year in
the District, thereby necessitating the implementation of
continued temporary student housing alternatives.
It is the District's plan to house regular, special
education and pull-out program studentls in the following
manner during the 1983-1984 school year.
431 permanent classrooms.
???"other" in -school spaces, i.e., storage areas, work
roans, offices, etc. that are "unofficially" used as
classroom space.
12 leased and District -owned trailers
14 mini -school roans in temporarily converted duplexes
13 maxi -school rooms in termporarily converted duplexes
45 District -owned relocatable roans
84 State -lease emergency portables
'The following facilities are used to house LUSD programs;
however, Development Fees can not be applied at these
locations:
1 leased house used for deaf -blind student education
6 rooms in leased quarters for the Career Center
", Continued October 19, 1983
LUSD DECLARATICN Enrollment projections and classroom loading are detailed by
OF IMPAGTI(V Attendance Area school in Exhibit A.
(OCNT'D)
The number of "unhoused" students reported for the taming
school year is reduced drastically from the number reported
in 1982-83. This is due to a definitional change and not to
a decrease in actual numbers of students. In past years,
District -owned relocatable buildings were considered interim
housing; however, they are now counted as permanent
classrooms as a result of a re-evaluation of how these
buildings are used over the short and long-term and
clarified information on how they are viewed by State school
building officials. The District will have 46 relocatable -
buildings, including eight at the new Stonewood School site.
One of the buildings at Stonewood is planned for use in the
coming year as a special program/mal t i -purpose room and is
temporarily not available as a regular classroan. Inclusion
of the 45 buildings as interim housing would result in an
additional 1,350 "unhoused" students, bringing the total to
4,397, which is an approximate increase of 400 students over
last year.
Based on the known extent of overcrowding, the anticipated
increase in enrollment, and the known potential for all
residential construction activity within the impacted
attendance areas of the Lodi Unified School District, the
Governing Board declared the following attendance areas
impacted for the purposes of requesting the continued
imposition and collection of development fees by local
governments. A copy of Board Resolution 83-45 was also
provided for Council's perusal.
