Berryessa Union School District

7-11 District Advisory Committee

The Berryessa Union School District has formed what is referred to as a "7-11 Committee” to look at how to better utilize some of the District’s assets/properties. The purpose of the Committee is to review and analyze property owned by Berryessa USD and determine what real property could be designated as "excess" or "surplus" because it will not be needed for school purposes. The Committee will then present a report to the Board of Trustees recommending uses for the surplus property, or how to dispose of the property (e.g., sale, lease, etc.). This is a very important task and the below highly-qualified, capable, and committed individuals have been selected to be members of the Committee.
 
Members of the Committee serve only on a voluntary basis. The Committee proceedings and deliberations are open to the public. 
 
Under California law (Education Code § 17389), the Committee must have at least seven (7) members and no more than eleven (11) members and contain persons who are representative of each of the following:
 
  1. The ethnic, age group and socioeconomic composition of the district;
  2. The business community, such as store owners, managers, or supervisors;
  3. Landowners or renters, with preference to be given to representatives of neighborhood associations;
  4. Teachers;
  5. Administrators;
  6. Parents of Students;
  7. 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 or cities and counties in which surplus space and real property is located.
 
California law also designates the specific duties of a 7-11 Committee (Education Code 17390) as follows:
  1. Review the projected school enrollment and other data as provided by the district to determine the amount of surplus space and real property;
  2. Establish a priority list of use of surplus space and real property that will be acceptable to the community;
  3. Cause to have circulated throughout the attendance area a priority list of surplus space and real property and provide for hearings or community input to the Committee on acceptable uses of space and real property, including the sale or lease of surplus real property for child care development purposes pursuant to Section 17458;
  4. Make a final determination of limits of tolerance of use of space and real Property;
  5. Forward to the Board of Trustees a report recommending uses of surplus space and real property.
