The Brea Olinda Unified School District disagrees wholly with this finding. Each school district keeps records on its own facilities and whether its facilities have encapsulated asbestos.

Although current EPA standards provide that encapsulated asbestos does not present an immediate hazard to people who come near it, any physical disturbance and/or weathering which damages that encapsulation and releases asbestos fibers into the air will present an immediate hazard to anyone exposed to those fibers.

The Brea Olinda Unified School District disagrees completely with this Finding. The Brea Olinda Unified School District has not extended the time for repayment nor do the legal documents establishing the school district's CFD allow unlimited extensions of time for repayment. Recommendation 1: Each local agency that established the CFD should create an oversight committee and an audit committee to provide for an independent, transparent view of the manner in which CFD funds are being expended.

The Brea Olinda Unified School District partially disagrees with this recommendation. The Brea Olinda Unified School District agrees that a clear explanation of the assumed future growth rate of assessed values in the bond election materials made available to voters is a good recommendation for school districts. The Brea Olinda Unified School District also agrees that the explanation should reference relevant historical assessed value data for the individual district. However, the Brea Olinda Unified School District cannot determine if there is a factual basis for the remainder of the recommen...

The District agrees partially with this finding. The District agrees that not all Orange County schools use the same technology and procedures to record bullying or harassment incidents. Different districts use different databases and internal procedures to track bullying complaints. With regard to the codes used to record bullying or harassment incidents, prior to July 1, 2012, Education Code section 48900(r) defined bullying by reference to sexual harassment (Education Code section 48900.2), hate violence (Education Code section 48900.3), and harassment, threats and intimidation (Education C...

This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted and is not reasonable. The District tracks complaints of discrimination, harassment, intimidation and bullying, and their resolution in the student information system. Different districts use different technology and procedures that reflect the unique needs of each district. While all districts will comply with State-mandated reporting, such as the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS), it is not necessary that each district use the same internal procedures and technology to track reported inciden...

The District will not implement this policy because it is not warranted and is not reasonable. The District has no legal authority to obligate other school districts. However, it should be noted that the District is required by law to apply the definition <sup>2</sup> Educ. Code § 234.1(d).
of "bullying" contained in Education Code section 48900(r) in suspending and expelling students. Recommendation 3: Each district review standardized procedures to protect a bully victim and bystanders' confidentiality as stated in Education Code section 234.1

The District cannot comment on what policies are posted in all schools throughout Orange County, but can respond only on behalf of the District itself. Finding 3 combines the requirement to post anti-discrimination/anti-harassment policies in prescribed areas with the requirement to post anti-bullying policies. The requirement for school districts to post their anti-bullying policy in all schools and offices, including staff lounges and pupil government meeting rooms, is new as of July 1, 2012. Thus, the District disagrees with Finding 3 to the extent it reflects on the District's practice in ...

</b> The recommendation to submit plans to the Orange County Department of Education "for review" will not be implemented because it is not required under current law, and it is our understanding that the Orange County Department of Education does not intend to assign staff to complete a review of individual school's or district's Comprehensive Safety Plans. It is the responsibility of each school district to review their own school site safety plans as required by California Education Code Section 32288. Every year, the Brea Olinda Unified School District and each individual site will update ...
