the year as changes are approved by the board, officials said.

special reserve fund.

income from the 1999-2000 year totaled a little more than $1 million,
plus $5,234 for sanitation fee reimbursement. The revenue will be used to
maintain facilities, purchase school safety items at open schools and
provide long-term facility upgrades, district officials said.
ISSUE: TEXTBOOKS

coordinate with a new instructional program. The projected cost of
$427,539 will be paid for by the Governor’s Instructional Material Funds.
ISSUE: BOUNDARIES
Vote: NoneSummary: The district is considering whether to place the
vacant land south of Los Patos Avenue, beginning west of Warner Avenue
and ending east of Graham Street, in the boundaries of Hope View
Elementary and Mesa View Middle schools. The boundary changes would
alleviate the enrollment at Harbour View Elementary and Marine View
Middle schools. A pubic hearing on the matter will be opened at the next
regular board meeting, July 5.
