6) Equal funding for all Los Altos LASD public elementary students. The concept was for all students whether attending BCS or District-run public schools to receive the same amount of tax-payers funding on a per student basis. Jones noted that this was tied to the rechartering of BCS. Jones reviewed the "next steps". If Council supported the continuation of the negotiations, the sub-committee would seek legal support for drafting specific language for the various elements of the agreement and in parallel, the Los Altos School District would move forward with their public process that included review of the proposal by the Citizens Advisory Committee for Finance (CACF), public hearings and vote by the School Board. Mayor Kerr reviewed the timeline for the different "stakeholders" review process. The Palo Alto Unified School District Superintendent and Board President had publicly supported the inter-district transfers (#3) and Los Altos Hills preference. He stressed that he believed it was important to resolve the issue before the school year was over to ensure that residents could attend public hearings on the issue. The Los Altos School District had indicated that their School Board would vote on the proposal and the future of the Bullis-Purissima campus at their June 5 meeting prior to the June 8 Los Altos Hills City Council meeting. Kerr offered that the Council subcommittee would continue their efforts during the intervening period and work with legal counsel to develop enforceable agreements that included: a shared use agreement with the Town, Bullis Charter School and Los Altos School District for the Bullis site; Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Los Altos School District and Palo Alto Unified School District; and any additional required documents. He noted that the Bullis Charter School Board also needed to review and vote on the proposed "framework". Kerr explained that the Council subcommittee was seeking Council comments and approval of the framework at tonight's meeting and once endorsed, they would return to Council on June 8, 2006 with the prepared legal documents for Council consideration. Jones noted that this time period was approximately 45 days to develop a complete set of legal agreements to be formally endorsed by all the negotiation participants respective Boards. Councilmember Mordo queried if the framework (term sheet) presented by Jones was a "wish list" for the Town or if the Negotiators were ready to publicly voice their personal support for the outline. He noted that there had been comments in the press by LASD Board members that they were opposed to the plan. Kerr responded that the framework represented what the subcommittee (Kerr and Jones) had identified as the consensus agreements from the negotiations. He noted that it would probably take additional time for some of the components (re-chartering of the Bullis Charter School)to be completed. Mayor Pro Tem Warshawsky suggested that it would be advantageous to the process to invite representatives from the County and State Offices of Education to participate in the discussions. He noted that they played a role in a successful resolution including the • issue of geographical waivers and the re-charter of BCS. 9 City Council Meeting Minutes April 27,2006
