School board members to review leases tonight

The Newport-Mesa Unified School District board will resume its

bimonthly meeting schedule tonight, when it will prepare for the

coming school year.

Preparations will include looking at all its lease agreements --

both the property it rents out to programs, such as the Lindburgh

school site, and the property it rents, such as a building at the

Orange County Fairgrounds.

Board members will also receive an update on Measure A school bond

construction. And they receive a quarterly investment report, a

strategic plan development update and set a date for a study session

and public hearing for the final budget.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. after a closed-session meeting at

the District Education Center, 2985-A Bear St. in Costa Mesa.
