ISSUE:

 

The Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) leadership team intends to regularly brief the Board of Education (Board) on progress related to Conejo Valley High School (CVHS) and District Office (DO) relocation projects.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

At its March 14, 2017 Discussion Session, the Board sought information on fiscal, facility and programmatic features associated with relocating CVHS.  The proposal to move CVHS to the South Building on Janss Road would necessitate relocating select district offices while renovating other buildings on Janss Road.  Impending projects will be phased, so it is important to staff that regular updates on processes, budgets and progress are provided to the Board.

 

 

RATIONALE:

 

The CVUSD leadership team wishes to be proactive and transparent in keeping the Board and community informed.
