Smith's plans for the new administration building
May 09, 2007 | Permalink
Sam Miller, The Orange County Register "Trustees Monday voted to lease out one of three wings in the new administration building. The decision will raise about $338,000 annually, which will go to older schools for facilities improvements. The district will consolidate its operations into the building's center wing and northernmost section. About 15,000 square feet in the southern section will be rented out. No tenant has been identified. Smith said the district will grow into the building."

Some residents had criticized the 126,000-square-foot building as too large for the district, and it was at the heart of a failed recall effort in 2005. School district officials moved in a year ago. Miller is the South Orange County education reporter for The Orange County Register.

May 08, 2007 | Permalink
Sam Miller, The Orange County Register "New Superintendent Dennis Smith said the move will earn the district about $338,000 annually, which he will then distribute to older schools to use as they please for facilities upgrades. The district will consolidate its operations into the building's center wing and northernmost section. The southernmost section will be rented out ... Smith, though, said it was a good investment and its size will be needed as the district grows in the coming decade."
