Sports Golf and Recreation
Center , has requested to
present to the OUSD Board "an
updated idea for leasing the property on an ongoing basis". The presentation will be a proposal to the OUSD Trustees about a new
idea about combining sports and education at the Peralta Site.
Information
in the Agenda about the proposal includes "making
it a more educational oriented facility while still keeping the sports" .
The business which currently leases the Peralta site is proposing to change the
name to "Super Sports and Education Center ". The Agenda information also includes this
description " a new idea, where several schools can have their sports as a
shared resource" and " this will help us pay the district
additional rent over time".

School site up for sale for $15.9 million dollars. The resolution includes the
exemption from environmentally sensitive areas as outlined in the California

Action
Item 13 A ( Agenda pages 3-15) on the
February 20, 2014 agenda includes a Resolution to sell the City of Anaheim site and consider counteroffer to the stated
price.

December 2009. The school closed in June
of 2010 at an estimated savings of $349,000 annually to the cash strapped
district. In October of 2013, OUSD Trustees officially voted the Riverdale site
to be surplus property.
Discussion of Automatic External Defibrillators on Agenda
On August 7, 2013 fourteen year-old Canyon High
School student Mitchell Cook collapsed and died

OUSD Board directed staff after a presentation on AED's to report back with a
policy for their potential use.

Defibrillators (AED) will also be discussed at the Canyon High School meeting
