I.
Facilities Task Force Report
T.Keliinoi reported on the history of facility challenges Elevate has faced and overcome, having to move location from Tierrasanta proposed site to Kroc, to current site all within a few months and within the opening of the school’s first year. Lease at current site is through June 2019 for 13 rooms. During the school year 2016-2017 growth of facilities became a necessity for sustainability of school and programming, the task force explored real estate and made a Prop 39 request to San Diego Unified School District this spring. The district has made an offer that would allow enrollment to increase by up to students and is in a location that serves some of our student population. The Task Force recommends taking the Prop 39 offer from the district.
