In an effort to determine the best use of District property that is not being used as an active school site, the Calistoga Joint Unified School District is looking at how to better utilize its assets. Therefore, the District is currently forming what is referred to as a "7–11 Committee." If you would like to participate and are qualified, we invite you to apply to be a member of the Committee.
The purpose of the Committee is to review and analyze real property that is owned by the Calistoga Joint Unified School District (CJUSD) and to determine what real property could be designated as "excess" or "surplus" because it will not be needed for school purposes (Ed. Code §§ 17387, et seq.) . The Committee will then present a report to the CJUSD Board of Education recommending uses for the surplus property or how to dispose of the property (e.g., sale, lease, exchange, etc.). To place the property on the market, the Board must consider the Committee’s recommendations regarding the property. (Ed. Code § 17466.) The Committee’s recommendations are advisory, and are not binding on the Board.
The Committee must have no fewer than seven and no more than eleven members who are representative of each of the following (Ed. Code § 17388-17389):
The ethnic, age group, and socioeconomic composition of the District.
The business community, such as store owners, managers, or supervisors.
Landowners or renters, with preference to be given to representatives of neighborhood associations.
Teachers
Administrators.
Parents of Students.
Persons with expertise in environmental impact, legal contracts, building codes, and land use planning, including, but not limited to, knowledge of the zoning and other land use restrictions of the cities and counties in which surplus space and real property is located.
This is an important task and the district is looking for highly-qualified, capable, and committed individuals to be members of the Committee.
Attached is the application packet. If you are interested in being on the committee and meet any of the above descriptions, please apply.
Members of the Committee serve only on a voluntary basis.
