| Kevin Sved, HPS CEO |
| Hollister Prep School (HPS) is a K-8 charter school authorized by Hollister School District and operated by Navigator Schools. After a general update on HPS, Navigator Schools will present the Proposition 51 application to the Governing Board. HPS proposes facility rehabilitation and new construction on the HPS section of the R.O. Hardin campus with funding from the Office of Public School Construction under the Charter School Facilities Program made possible by Proposition 51 which was approved by voters in 2016. Funding eligibility requires a long-term facilities use agreement between the District and charter.
The proposal is for HPS to build new facilities on the north side of the R.O Hardin campus. This would eliminate the need for HPS to utilize classrooms located on the southern part of the R.O. Hardin campus near the fields, and significantly decrease the impact HPS has on R.O. Hardin Elementary operations. By supporting the facility funding application process, the District will be facilitating HPS to meet these needs. |
| |
| It is recommended the Board of Trustees hear and engage in the discussion with HPS staff regarding this agenda item on April 26, 2022, and engage in further discussions and possible action at the Regular Board Meeting on May 24, 2022. |
| HPS will be responsible for the costs of the project so there will be no direct costs incurred by the District. |
