The governing board may choose to conduct a sale of personal property under this section by means of a public auction conducted by employees of the district or other public agency or by contract with a public auction firm. The Board of Education may delegate to the district employee responsible for conducting the auction the authority to transfer the personal property to the highest responsible bidder upon completion of the auction and after payment has been received by the district.

This is the report of the DJUSD Safety Task Force authorized by a vote of the Board of Education. The report contains information about safety challenges and solutions, a process of public engagement, review of school and crime data and staff recommendations for improving safety in DJUSD. The DJUSD thanks all stakeholders who participated in the Safety Task Force and took time to share their views and ideas on this important topic.

The Safety Task Force convened four times in April.  Meetings were open to the general public and were advertised within the DJUSD schools and throughout the Davis community. A total of 38 community members, parents, teachers, school staff, city officials and district staff attended at least one of the first three meetings of the Task Force. On April 25 at DJUSD Parent Engagement Night, school community members were invited to attend the final Safety Task Force event and provide feedback on priorities generated by the work of the Safety Task Force over the course of the month. This report contains feedback from more than 90 individuals who participated in this process.

Staff have compiled a variety of recommendations as part of the on-going safety related work district-wide.

In the Fall of 2017, the Board of Education authorized LPA Architects to create an updated Facilities Master Plan for the Davis Joint Unified School District. A Facilities Master Plan is the guiding facilities document which allows deferred maintenance, modernization and new construction to be completed in a way that maximizes and aligns the District’s limited facilities dollars with District goals and needs. The District completed its last Facilities Master Plan in the 2009-10 school year.

LPA and District staff have conducted extensive stakeholder outreach to create a document that is responsive to the current conditions and outlines a vision for the future of DJUSD facilities aligned with the district’s goals of 21st century teaching and learning, closing the achievement gap, and creating safe and inclusive environments.

The Facilities Master Plan Draft can be viewed here.

• All students will experience 21st Century Teaching and Learning (Conditions of Learning).
