This facility will house students living within the City of San Bernardino, since the Rialto Unified School District encompasses the area west of Lytle Creek. A copy of the tabulation showing the breakdown of students from the City of San Bernardino is attached for reference. According to the District's schedule, this new Senior High School (9-12) will open in September, 1992. However, this schedule is predicated upon passage of the school bond measure (Proposition 123) on the June ballot. Even with the passage of Proposition 123, the funding from the Office of Local Assistance (aLA) of the State Archi tect' s Office will be insufficient to finance the total estimated cost of the new facility. The District anticipates opening the school with only one-half of the student parking lot paved and without landscaping (except for the athletic fields) due to the shortage of funds. The traffic study prepared for the new school identified the need for traffic signals at Eucalyptus Avenue and Mill Street upon opening of this facility. This study was based upon the District's recommendation that the school will open with an initial enrollment of 2,000 - 2,500 students. The preliminary estimate of cost for the traffic signals is $120,000. An amount of $14,000 has been collected from an adjoining development toward the cost of these signals. Another development has been conditioned to pay $14,000. It is ~ recommended that direction be given to include these signals in /.IrfcfJJjB Capital Improvement Program under the 1991/92 Fiscal Year, since the new school is scheduled to open in September, 1992. Funds are available from aLA to finance the cost for improving two adjoining streets, up to a half width of 18 feet. The District plans to improve the frontages on Eucalyptus Avenue and Mill Street, since access will be provided from these streets. Since the school will take no vehicular access from Pepper AVenue, and no State funds can be obtained, the District is requesting that the improvements be waived. The Civil Engineer for this project has estimated the total cost of Street improvements at $700,000, of which $350,000 would be for Pepper Avenue. ~*fS8 It is recommended that direction be given to include the im ovement of Pepper Avenue, adjacent to the school site, in the Capital Improvement Program when funds can be identified. 5-14-90 75.0264 DAVID L ANDREWS, Ed.D.

(714) 820. noo May 1, 1990 San Bernardino City Planning Department City Hall 300 North "D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 RE: TENTATIVE TRACT 14346 The Ria1to Unified. School District is impacted at the present time. Pending the passage of Proposition 123 on the June ballot, the District is optimistic that it will receive the necessary funds to build a high school at the corner of Eucalyptus and Merrill Avenues in the City of San Bernardino. The City Pub1 ic Works Department has requested the design and installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Eucalyptus and Merrill, which the State School Building Program will not finance. Locally, the School District does not have the funds to complete such a project since the State School Building Program uses local developer fees to offset its costs. As a result, the fees become the local share of a school building project. The City has previously approved the construction of single-family homes immediately north of the proposed project. If the City still requires the installation of a signal at Eucalyptus and Merrill, the School District requests that the signal be financed by the development community rather than a public school, which is built as a result of the growth. .
