7-11 Committee Purpose and Procedures:  

Education Code section 17390 requires a 7-11 Committee to do all of the following:

• Review the projected school enrollment and other data as provided by the district to determine the amount of surplus space and real property.
• Establish a priority list of use of surplus space and real property that will be acceptable to the community.
• Cause to have circulated throughout the attendance area a priority list of surplus space and real property and provide for hearings of community input to the committee on acceptable uses of space and real property, including the sale or lease of surplus real property for child care development purposes pursuant to Section 17458.
• Make a final determination of limits of tolerance of use of space and real property.
• Forward to the district governing board a report recommending uses of surplus space and real property. 

The Board of Trustees will take into consideration the 7-11 Committee's recommendations, which are advisory and nonbinding, and will then determine whether it will declare some or all of the Deer Park property surplus and its intent to sell or lease the property in question. 

The Committee’s meetings are subject to the Brown Act.  The public may attend meetings and provide input.  Meetings will be held in person at the RVSD District Office located at 100 Shaw Drive, San Anselmo (they will not be livestreamed or recorded).  The Committee will determine their meeting schedule, and the dates/times will be listed on this webpage.  Meeting agendas will be posted at least 72 hours before the meetings on this webpage.  Approved meeting minutes will also be available on this webpage.
