The 7-11 Committee must do all of the following (Ed. Code § 17390):

Review the projected school enrollment and other data provided by the District to
determine the amount of surplus real property.

Establish a priority list of use of surplus space and real property that will be acceptable to
the community.

Cause to have circulated throughout the attendance area a priority list of surplus space
and real property and provide for hearings of community input to the community on
acceptable uses of space and real property, including the sale or lease of surplus real
property for child care development purposes.

Make a final determination of limits of tolerance of use of space and real property.

Forward to the Board a report recommending uses of surplus space and real property.

The 7-11 Committee’s recommendation is advisory only, and need not be implemented
by the Board.

Determine whether the project is a workforce housing project exempt from the 7-11
Committee requirement.

Effective January 1, 2018, Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1157 exempted school districts from the
requirement that they establish a 7-11 Committee to consider declaring property surplus
if the district intends to use the surplus property for employee rental housing. The
expressed legislative intent behind AB 1157 was to exempt school district property to be
used for district workforce housing from the surplus property process, but the law stops
short of a broad exemption beyond removing the 7-11 Committee process.

II. Consider Physical and Political Aspects of Site

Optional: Clarify Site’s Physical Development Constraints, both for the District’s purposes and
for the information of prospective buyers and developers.

Ensure title is free and clear of tax lien liabilities, restrictive covenants, conditions and
restrictions, restrictive easements, and any additional constraints.

Obtain a boundary/survey map to verify acreage and land area and a legal description.

Determine current zoning and general plan restrictions on the property as well as the
likelihood and time line for changes to a more favorable designation. This review should
also reveal other restrictions and costs such as Coastal Commission approval, Corps of
Engineers approval, availability of water and sewer connections, off-site costs such as
traffic mitigation, park dedication fees, fees for special districts, etc.
