Asset Management Advisory Committee

To solicit input on the use of the Andres Duarte site after the consolidation, the Board of Education approved establishing an Asset Management Advisory Committee (AMAC) to advise on the use and/or disposition of real property. 

 

All meetings of the committee can be viewed on the District's YouTube Channel

On February 10, 2022, the Board approved Resolution #14-21-22 forming the Asset Management Committee pursuant to Education Code section 17387, et seq. The role of the AMAC was to advise the Board regarding use or disposition options for Andres Duarte Arts Academy.

 

In order to appoint members to the Committee, the District sent out communications via Parent Square, sent notices for posting to all the school sites and posted information on the district website to make the application and AMAC bylaws readily available. As a result of our robust outreach efforts, we received a good number of applications. The following members and the group they represent (mandated by Education Code) were presented for approval to the Board. The Board approved the listed members of the AMAC, and their terms became effective April 26, 2022. AMAC submitted its recommendation report to the Board in June 2022 regarding the Andres Duarte site.

Agendas and Minutes from the Meetings:
In June 2022, Pursuant to Education Code section 17390, the AMAC submitted the Asset Management Advisory Committee Report to the Board of Education for review and consideration. This report included a recommendation that the property be deemed surplus property and consideration made to either offer the Property at market value, for sale or lease, to public agencies or further assess best options for the Property in order to prioritize the best financial and operational interests of the District, and for staff to keep the Board informed of its efforts.
