Board adopts modest increase to developer school-fee rates to match state adjustment
Summary
The board adopted resolution R2622 to raise school facilities (developer) fees in line with a January 2026 state adjustment: residential fees move from $3.20 to $3.32 per square foot and commercial/industrial fees increase by two cents. Board members discussed fee-sharing with Fremont Unified and restrictions on use.
The Sunnyvale School District board voted to adopt resolution R2622, increasing school facilities developer fees to align with the state allocation board’s January 2026 adjustments. District staff told the board current fees were $3.20 per square foot for residential projects and $0.52 for commercial/industrial, with the proposed rates increasing to $3.32 for residential and by two cents for commercial and industrial development.
Superintendent Dr. Crossway and staff explained the fee-change is not discretionary beyond the state update: it is a periodic adjustment tied to the State Allocation Board. Staff also explained a fee-sharing agreement with Fremont Unified, with Sunnyvale retaining about 61.8% of the state allocation and Fremont receiving the remainder. The board discussed allowable uses — restricted to capital facilities and modernization — and voted to adopt the resolution by roll call.
