What Is the School Facilities Corporation Meeting?

Once a year, the RUSD Board of Education convenes as the Redlands Unified School District School Facilities Corporation — a separate legal entity established to manage certain financial obligations tied to the district's bond debt and developer fee program. This is a required annual meeting, not a policy debate or a budget hearing. Past sessions have typically lasted under ten minutes. 1

The December 9 meeting will be called to order immediately after the regular board meeting concludes. The same board members serve as the Corporation's governing body.

Agenda at a Glance

The agenda contains four sections 1:

  1. Open Session — Roll call and approval of prior meeting minutes
  2. Public Participation — Community input opportunity
  3. Report of Status of Projects — Presented by Jason Hill, Deputy Superintendent, Business Services
  4. Adjournment

🏗️ The Heart of the Meeting: Facilities Corporation Financial Status

What Jason Hill Will Present

The substantive content of the meeting will be Jason Hill's annual project status report, which typically covers:

  • Community Facilities Districts (CFDs): The district has four active CFDs — established in 2001, 2006, 2016, and 2021 — covering residential development in the cities of Highland, Loma Linda, and Redlands. Each CFD tracks the number of building permits issued and whether bonds have been issued. Developer fees collected through these CFDs flow into the district's Capital Projects Fund. 3

  • Debt service on the Facilities Corporation: The board will receive an update on the outstanding principal balance of CFD-related bond debt and any principal payments made during the year. At the December 2022 session, Jason Hill (then Assistant Superintendent) reported that the principal balance as of June 30, 2021 was $25,440,000, a $775,000 payment had been made in September 2021, and the balance had dropped to $24,665,000 as of June 30, 2022. 7

  • Capital Projects Fund balance: The ending fund balance of the Capital Projects Fund, which records all CFD financial activity, was reported as approximately $6.36 million as of June 30, 2022 at the last comparable session. 7 The December 9 report will provide an updated figure.

These numbers are not glamorous, but they matter: they document how the district is meeting its legal obligations to bondholders and whether developer-funded construction revenue is keeping pace with enrollment growth in new residential areas.

📋 Minutes Approval: December 19, 2024

The board will first vote to approve the minutes of the December 19, 2024 Facilities Corporation meeting. This is routine housekeeping — the Corporation meets only once a year, so approving the prior year's minutes is always the first order of business. 1

Historical Context: How These Meetings Have Gone Before

The School Facilities Corporation meeting is a consistent fixture of RUSD's annual calendar. A review of the archive shows the pattern is identical year over year:

  • The board president opens the meeting immediately after the regular meeting adjourns.
  • Roll call confirms all members are present.
  • Minutes from the previous year are approved on a motion.
  • A brief public comment period is held — no members of the public have spoken at prior Facilities Corporation meetings on record. 3
  • Jason Hill presents the project status report summarizing CFD permit counts, bond balances, and fund activity.
  • The meeting adjourns, typically within five to ten minutes.

At the December 2022 session, then-President Melissa Ayala-Quintero noted as she opened the Corporation meeting: "Once a year, we have a school facilities corporation meeting. It is a very short meeting. We'll only take a few minutes." 7

💰 Broader Facilities Context: Measure D in the Background

While the Facilities Corporation meeting itself is narrow in scope, it takes place against a significant backdrop: Measure D, the $355–$500 million school facilities bond approved by Redlands Unified voters in November 2024. Measure D is funding a wide range of modernization projects across the district — roofing, infrastructure upgrades, safety improvements, and classroom renovations — with more than $26 million already invested in completed projects as of mid-2026. 17

The CFDs and developer fees managed through the Facilities Corporation are a separate funding stream from Measure D, but both serve the district's long-term capital needs. The broader Facilities Master Plan governs the board's overall approach to these investments, and board policy requires the Superintendent or designee to keep the plan current and to oversee all bids, contracts, and construction activity. 20

Who Is Jason Hill?

Jason Hill is the District's Deputy Superintendent, Business Services, and has presented the Facilities Corporation status report at every annual session on record in the archive. He is also the authorized signer for a broad range of business and construction contracts on behalf of the board. 9 His title was previously "Assistant Superintendent, Business Services" before his promotion to Deputy Superintendent.

Can the Public Attend or Comment?

Yes. The meeting is open to the public, and there is a Community Input agenda item. However, per district policy, public comments must be made in person — the livestream does not accept remote public comment. 1

For accessibility accommodations, contact the District Superintendent's office in writing at least 72 hours in advance. 1

What to Watch For

Given that no transcript or minutes from this meeting are yet on file in the archive, community members interested in the following should tune in or attend:

  • Updated CFD permit counts — how close are the 2016 and 2021 CFDs to full buildout?
  • Current principal balance on Facilities Corporation debt — the trend line from prior years suggests it has been declining
  • Capital Projects Fund balance — how much developer fee revenue is available for future construction?

This is not a meeting where major policy decisions are expected. But for residents in new developments in Highland, Loma Linda, or Redlands — whose home purchases included school facility fees — it is the one annual moment when the board publicly accounts for how those funds are being managed.
