| | | |

|Per Education Code Section 17524(a), the Nevada Joint Union | | |

|High School District seeks approval to enter into a joint-occupancy agreement with Verizon Wireless for | | |

|the installation of a cell tower on district property | | |

| | |Information |

| | |Public Hearing |

|RECOMMENDATION |

The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends that the State Board of Education (SBE) approve the joint-occupancy agreement between the District and Verizon Wireless.

|SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTION |

The SBE, at its September 2000 meeting, approved a similar joint occupancy agreement that allowed cellular towers to be placed on several school sites in the Grant Joint Union High School District.

|SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES |

The agreement will permit the District to lease a portion of its property used for the District office and close to Nevada Union High School, to Verizon Wireless (Verizon) for the purpose of erecting a cell tower and building an equipment shelter. The cell tower would be approximately 100 feet tall built to resemble a pine tree. The base of the tower would be 64 square feet. A 240 square-foot equipment shelter, used by Verizon to supply power and store telecommunication equipment, will also be included in the portion of property to be leased.

The maximum power output will be 1,200 watts, an amount 100 times below Federal Communication Commission guidelines for limiting humans to exposure from harmful radiofrequency energy.

|FISCAL ANALYSIS (AS APPROPRIATE) |

The twenty-year lease will generate monthly revenue for the District.
