As we move forward with planning/building new schools, this type of <br />information is extremely valuable. <br />When this subdivision comes on line, the students will be attending Cameron Park <br />Elementary and C. W. Stanford Middle Schools. Currently, both of these schools are at <br />or over capacity. The location of each school, also provides little room for expansion, <br />and the cost of mobile units continues to escalate each year. <br />I am not sure how the developers can assist us with this matter, other than providing <br />funding for new school construction. The developers donating a site for a school within <br />the subdivision would be of some assistance. However, a new elementary school costs <br />the county/school system between 10-14 million dollars.. I would be very interested in a <br />discussion about shared costs between the developers and the -school system to build <br />new schools. <br />- - Again, thank you for the information, and I look forward to working with your department. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ce <br />Randy Bridges <br />Superintendent <br />/ha <br />cc: Orange County.Board of Education <br />
