Public Verbal Comments This communication opportunity is included on the agenda of each regular Board meeting, so citizens may make suggestions or identify concerns about matters affecting the school district or request that an item be placed on a future agenda. As a reminder, the Governing Board meetings are a business meeting of the Board held in public and, although public participation is encouraged, it is not the public’s meeting. The Jurupa Unified School District Board of Education encourages and invites the public to comment on items listed on the agenda or on matters within its subject jurisdiction. Public speakers have a right to their own opinions, and neither Board Members nor staff will be responding to those opinions or answering questions. The district’s silence should not be mistaken for agreement, but simply to avoid legal entanglements and/or to protect the privacy of situations that may involve lawsuits, employee discipline, or dismissal. Please be assured that any serious allegations have been or will be investigated thoroughly. Any responses from the Board will take place during Board Member comments. Each speaker will be given 3 minutes to speak, and comments will be limited to a total of 20 minutes per topic.

E. Public Hearing Session

1. Hold Public Hearing to Increase Statutory School Facility Fees (Level 1 Fees) Imposed on New Residential and Commercial/Industrial Development Presenter: Mrs. Ford On January 28, 2026, the State Allocation Board increased the maximum statutory school facilities fees, also known as "Level 1 Fees," levied pursuant to Education Code Section 17620 et seq. This resulted in an increase to "Level 1 Fees" to $5.38 per square foot for new residential construction and $0.87 per square foot for commercial/industrial construction. Our current Level 1 Fees are $5.17 per square foot for new residential construction and $0.84 per square foot for commercial/industrial construction. Key Analytics prepared a "School Facilities Fee Justification Report" to update both the residential and commercial/industrial statutory school facilities fees, substantiating the continuing need to collect such fees at the maximum allowable amount. Both the Residential and Commercial/Industrial Fee Justification Studies were available for public review from April 30, 2026, through May 12, 2026, at the District Office and on the district website. To impose that base fee, we conduct a public hearing to allow comments on our intent to do so. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive input and testimony on levying residential and commercial/industrial fees as proposed in Resolution No. 2026/47, which would increase fees to $5.38 per square foot for residential construction and $0.87 per square foot for commercial/industrial construction. In accordance with Government Code (GC) Section 6062(a), the first notice of the public hearing was published in the newspaper on April 30, 2026, and a second notice was published in the newspaper on May 7, 2026.
