California Department of Education CDE’s Role in the School Facility Program: Plan & Site Approval, Requirements under Title 5 Fred Yeager – Assistant Director, SFPD

Role of the CDE ¢ California Education Code Section 17251 l ¢ CDE to develop standards for school sites and plans Standards in California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 5, Sections 14010 and 14030 l Safety and educational appropriateness

Role of the CDE ¢ All public school sites and plans, regardless of funding source, must meet CCR Title 5 standards Section 14010, site standards l Section 14030, plan standards l Sections 14011 and 14032, state funding process l Sections 14012 and 14033, local funding process l ¢ If state funds are requested, CDE approval required (Education Code Section 17070. 50)

Site Approval Process Overview FACILITY MASTER PLAN Local Educational Agency (LEA) evaluates short and long term needs POTENTIAL SITES LEA identifies and evaluates potential sites CDE EVALUATION CDE evaluates three or more of the potential sites identified by the district LEA submits CDE approval letter as part of their OPSC funding application PREFERRED SITE LEA identifies preferred site and prepares required studies for CDE (School Facilities Planning Division (SFPD)) site approval SFPD 4. 01, School Site Approval Procedures

Facility Master Plan ¢ A 5 -10 year projection of facility needs Identifies needs l Where to build l What to build l When to build l What to modernize l Budget Estimates l Funding sources l

Facility Master Plan ¢ Evaluate Annually Demographic changes l Program changes l Facility use changes l Funding changes l

CDE Initial Site Review ¢ Physical review of Site Review of Title 5 standards and project scope l Identify know concerns l Identify needed studies and reports l Recommendations and ranking l ¢ Initial review is not an approval

District Submits Site Application for CDE Review ¢ District chooses site for CDE review and approval Required studies are listed on the SFPD 4. 01, School Site Approval Procedures, including: l DTSC Approval Letter l CEQA Adoption l Geological Hazards report l Certifications on Form 4. 03 l

CDE Review Site Application ¢ CDE Reviews submitted documents. If project meets Title 5 standards, approva letter issued. l Letter valid for five years l Can be renewed. l

Contingent Site Approval Contingent approval is available if project is an environmental hardship or LEA is a financial hardship ¢ Requires that CDE determine that the site is the “best available site” ¢ Able to request early site money from SAB ¢

Contingent Site Approval ¢ Environmental Hardship: l ¢ DTSC determination of six or more months needed to remediate site Financial Hardship l Determined by State Allocation Board

Contingent Site Approval Requirements ¢ All required items on Form 4. 01 except: l Department of Toxic Substances Control approval • Environmental hardship needs DTSC “six month letter” California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) final determination l SFPD 4. 03, School Site Certification l ¢ A CDE contingent site approval is valid for one year and can be renewed

Plan Approval Process Overview—New School EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS LEA develops Educational Specifications DEVELOPING THE PLANS LEA submits preliminary plans to CDE (design development) LEA submits CDE approval letter as part of their OPSC funding application PRELIMINARY PLANS LEA resolves CDE concerns CDE PLAN APPROVAL CDE reviews project and approves if Title 5 standards are met. CEQA compliance and DTSC approval needed if applicable

What is an Educational Specification? Quick Description “Form follows function” or “Form allows function”

Why Use an Educational Specification? Required by Regulations ¢ California Code of Regulations, Title 5 14001 (a) and 14030 (a) District board policy The Superintendent of each LEA “Oversees the preparation of (school construction and modernization) plans from the developed educational specifications”. (CSBA Board Policy 7100)

Why Use an Educational Specification? ¢ Better product l ¢ School design that supports and enhances the educational program Builds Relationships Among district staff l Between district and community l ¢ Puts students as the focal point of decision making

Why Use an Educational Specification? Create a process and document that captures the facility impacts of educational program changes on existing schools. ¢ For example: Class Size Reduction l Full day kindergarten l Conversion from K-6 to K-8 l

Relocatable/Modular School Buildings Pre-Check (PC) Approval Process ¢ ¢ The pre-check approval provides a “preapproved “ set of drawings for a structure to serve as a basis (comparison set) for future school project approval. The PC approval expedites and simplifies project approval. Used by manufacturers of relocatable buildings, shade structures, light poles and other unusual and/or “repetitive use” structures. Manufacturer is charged for the PC plan review/approval Compliance with Title 24 regulations required

Modular Buildings Over the Counter (OTR) Approval ¢ ¢ Approved PC drawings are typically used (not re-reviewed) Site conditions are reviewed l l l ¢ Access Compliance – path of travel, toilets, etc. Fire & Life Safety – distances between buildings, alarms, etc. Structural Safety – verify snow, wind, seismic loads match, etc. Projects generally reviewed and stamped in one day (OTC)

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 3: DSA Intake Review l “Bin Times” (time between receipt of complete submittal package & start of plan review with first available reviewer) monitored and updated weekly l When submittal package is determined to be complete, School District and Architect notified by email “Notice of Progress” (AB 3640) indicating: 1. Project’s Application number 2. Anticipated date review will start (Bin Time) 3. Referral to TRACKER (on website) for monitoring project status https: //www. apps. dgs. ca. gov/tracker/Project. Status. aspx

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 4: Plan Review l Plans are reviewed in order received l Concurrent reviews are conducted: 1. Structural - Structural Engineer 2. Fire & Life Safety - FLS Officer 3. Accessibility - Access Architect 4. HPI Review (Energy) - if applicable l Plans reviewed by first available plan reviewer (for all required disciplines) • Time estimated for start of review is stated in the AB 3640 “Notice of Progress”

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 5: Reviewed Plans Returned to Architect l Each of the reviewed “check-sets” (SS, FLS, AC, Energy) are returned to “Designer of Record” as listed on the DSA-1 Application Form when completed l “TRACKER” indicates status of each review (SS, FLS, AC, Energy) including when review is complete and returned to the “Designer of Record” https: //www. apps. dgs. ca. gov/tracker/Proj ect. Status. aspx

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 6: Design Professional Team Review of DSA Check-set (SS, FLS, ACS, and Energy if applicable) l Architect coordinates Design Professional Team review of DSA comments l Design Professional Team makes needed revisions to plans and supporting documents l Architect schedules a “back-check” appointment at DSA Regional Office

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 7: “Back-Check” and Approval of Plans l “Designer of Record” and Consultants bring corrected drawings and check-sets to back-check appointment l Architect and Engineers must provide experienced staff at the back-check appointment l DSA staff reviews drawings and all returned check-sets with the Architect & Engineers

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 8: Stamping Plans & Specifications l When back-check is deemed complete, SS, FLS, AC, initial & date DSA Identification Stamp on pertinent sheets. Energy initials only sheets containing required Title 24 Energy Forms

Intake, Plan Review & Plan Approval School District Building Projects ¢ Step 9: Approving Plans & Specifications l DSA makes a Record Set of plans and specifications • Plans are scanned at DSA. Time for scanning is dependant on size of project and availability of scanning staff l l DSA issues an Approval Letter as soon as plans are stamped approved The Approval Letter is sent out by email The date of the Approval Letter is the official DSA Plan Approval Date Construction must begin within 1 Year of the Plan Approval Date • Additional 1 Year increment Plan Approval Date Extensions may be requested in writing up to 4 Years subject to DSA Approval (Title 24, Part 1, Section 4 -330)
