A public hearing about proposed school facilities fees, a Measure A bond pricing update, a 45-day school district budget revision, and a report on substitute teacher and school-support employee salary increases are on the agenda when Vacaville Unified leaders meet tonight.

A Sacramento-based firm, School Facility Consultants, recommended to the district that it raise school facilities fees from $2.05 per square foot to $3.36 per square foot for residential development and to 54 cents per square foot, from 33 cents per square foot, for commercial/industrial development.

In its executive summary to the board, the consulting firm noted the fees were justified because the district’s projected enrollment “is larger than its pupil capacity for the K-6 grade group.” Eventually, a projected influx of new students “will require the District to acquire new school facilities,” the report’s authors wrote.
