Proposed Homeless Shelter'Nonriandy Placc <br />SAUSD - Pace 2 <br />* As stated by parents from Kenncd}, along with students from Century High School, there are also <br />questions regarding the possible interaction between students and the residents of the proposed <br />1217 L. Nomtandy Place facility. It would seem that there are a number of assumptions made <br />regarding this issue, yet once it occurs, there are likely to be few options. <br />® 1 u as informed that there was to be a police substation in association with this facility that would <br />provide a variety of services. At the time, I raised the question of what was meant by <br />"substation." as I have seen the implementation of such vat} front image alone to substance. <br />Additionally, this week 1 "heard" a remark that there was a plan for a "substation." 1 have no idea <br />if that is true: however, the point is that at a minimutu, there is confusion about the intention of a <br />"substation" and what that might actually mean. <br />® "l here was also a discussion of in external contractor operating the Normandy facility. In both <br />cases, 1 suggested that there be due diligence regarding the reputation of any possible <br />contractor — including interviewing of current community stakeholders where they currenit% <br />operate. <br />a finally, it seems that proceeding with this matter mid - summer raises questions of transparency <br />and the desire to engage the interests of parents and students is the process. <br />Bottom line. so that there is greater clarity on this 'issue, we realize that the Cny of Santa Ana has <br />prerogative over the SB2 lone locations and sires. furthermore, we also realise that this is a decision that <br />is in the hands of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Clearly. we as the Santa Ana Unified School <br />District do not play a role in this decision. I lowever, you should be aevare that we do NOT think that this <br />is it good solution, and there are a number of problems a ith it. Additionally. location of this facility- in <br />close proximity to ANY of our schools is problematic in our vice%. <br />'thank you for your Bute and attention to this Matter. If we call assist you with further input and daalogue <br />vvidt you, we are more than happy to meet. <br />cc_ Members.
