The board approved an in‑lieu Prop‑39 facilities agreement with Magnolia Science Academy, an Orange County–authorized charter school, that will allow Magnolia to occupy seven portable classrooms, two restrooms and limited adjacent green space at an identified district site for the 2025‑26 school year. The agreement caps Magnolia’s enrollment at 120 students in TK–2 for 25‑26 and includes limited scheduled access to green space and partitioning to avoid intermingling of students.

District counsel told trustees that Prop 39 (Ed Code provisions cited in staff summary) requires districts to provide facilities to charter petitioners who submit timely requests; Magnolia previously sought space via the county authorization route and had filed litigation. Counsel said the negotiated in‑lieu agreement resolves the lawsuit (dismissal with prejudice) and preserves district interests while limiting Magnolia's footprint and term. The agreement includes a waiver of Prop‑39 claims for 10 years if Magnolia secures a private facility.

Board members asked staff to confirm the mapped area, time‑of‑use arrangements, parking and partitioning to minimize impact on existing site users; staff confirmed the arrangement is time‑limited (one year with a possible extension into TK–3 only if Magnolia has not secured a private site), and that no other immediate Prop‑39 requests are finalized. Trustees approved the agreement on the record.
