School Facilities Fee (Level 1 statutory)

“The need for these fees exists because the enrollment growth that will result from projected residential and commercial or industrial development will exceed the capacity of the District to provide adequate permanent facilities for housing its students;”

“These fees will fund school facilities needed to accommodate students from new development and address the impacts of new development; and are collected to implement the District's school construction program for purposes including but not limited to the funding, planning, design, construction and reconstruction of school facilities necessary to maintain the current levels of educational services (and restore levels that have been impacted by growth) to children in the District”

“The proposed Level II residential rates are calculated on a School Facilities Improvement District (SFID) basis. SFID 1 represents the City of Rancho Cordova, Mather and the area south of Highway 50 generally west of Prairie City Road. SFID 2 represents the City of Folsom and the area south of Highway 50 generally east of Prairie City Road.”
