Body
Background:
The School Upgrade Program includes a spending target entitled "Adult and Career Education Facilities Upgrades." Projects developed under this category of need replace and upgrade failing building/site systems and components to provide safe, functional, and operational places to teach and learn, and are included in the Facilities SEP.
The proposed Project aligns with these priorities. This Project replaces approximately 14,000 square feet of deteriorated roofing at five permanent buildings and two arcades. The Project also includes replacement of roofing-related components such as flashing for weatherproofing as well as new gutters and downspouts. Construction is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2026 and be completed in the third quarter of 2026.
Bond Oversight Committee Recommendations:
This item was considered by the School Construction Bond Citizens' Oversight Committee (BOC) at its meeting on September 4, 2025, as referenced in Exhibit A. The presentation that was provided is included as Exhibit B. Staff has concluded that this proposed Facilities SEP amendment is in alignment with BOC recommendations and will facilitate the Los Angeles Unified School District's (Los Angeles Unified or District) ability to successfully implement the Facilities SEP.
Expected Outcomes:
Staff anticipates that the Board of Education will define and approve the proposed Project and amend the Facilities SEP to incorporate therein. Approval will authorize staff to proceed with implementation of the proposed Project to improve student health, safety, and the learning environment.
Board Options and Consequences:
Adoption of the proposed action will authorize staff to proceed with the expenditure of Bond Program funds to undertake the proposed Project. If the proposed action is not approved, Bond Program funds will not be expended, and the facilities needs will remain unaddressed.
Policy Implications:
The proposed Project is consistent with the District's commitment to address unmet school facilities needs, as described in Los Angeles Unified local bond measures, and provide facilities upgrades to existing adult and career education campuses. The proposed action advances Los Angeles Unified's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan Pillar 4 Operational Effectiveness Modernizing Infrastructure by providing new roofing for five permanent buildings and two arcades at Tweedy Learning Center.
Budget Impact:
The total budget for the proposed Project is $719,371. The proposed Project will be funded with Bond Program funds earmarked specifically for upgrades to adult and career education facilities.
The budget was prepared based on the current information known and assumptions about the proposed Project scope, site conditions, and market conditions. The project budget will be reviewed throughout the planning and construction phases as new information becomes known or unforeseen conditions arise and will be adjusted accordingly to enable the successful completion of the proposed Project.
Student Impact:
Approval of the proposed Project enables Los Angeles Unified to continue ongoing efforts to undertake facilities improvements that help ensure approximately 4,220 students attending Tweedy Learning Center (Board District 5, Region East) are provided with safe school environments that promote teaching and learning.
Equity Impact:
Building components/systems in the worst condition, especially those that pose a safety hazard and/or negatively impact school operations and other building systems if not addressed, will be addressed first.
Issues and Analysis:
Staff will implement all opportunities to minimize construction impacts on school operations and existing education programs.
It may be necessary to undertake feasibility studies, site analysis, scoping, and/or due diligence activities on the proposed Project prior construction. As necessary, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety will evaluate the proposed Projects in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act to ensure compliance. If through the planning process it is determined that the proposed Project's scope will not sufficiently address the needs identified, the Project's scope, schedule and budget will be revised accordingly.
