Comparison School Condition Analysis. The District may use the Facilities Condition Index (“FCI”) and Educational Adequacy Score (“EAS”) to evaluate the condition of the comparison schools and the allocated school site(s) for each charter school. The District shall take steps to ensure that the information contained in the FCI and EAS accurately reflects the then-current condition of the District’s school sites. If CCSA believes that the FCI and/or EAS scores are materially inaccurate for one or more District school sites, it may request a meeting with the District—provided that the number, scope, and frequency of the requests are not unreasonable—and the two parties shall make a good faith effort to meet within two (2) weeks after CCSA’s request for a meeting is received by OUSD, but in no case longer than three (3) weeks, to discuss CCSA’s concerns. The District will assess the site(s), update the FCI and EAS scores for any sites identified by CCSA if necessary, and provide CCSA with the documentation to support any changes made to the FCI and/or EAS scores. The District shall determine reasonable equivalence of the condition of the allocated school site(s) by calculating the average FCI and EAS scores for the comparison schools and comparing them to the FCI and EAS scores for the allocated school site(s), not by using the range of the scores for the comparison schools. This only requires that the score for an offer/site is reasonably equivalent to the average FCI and EAS scores for the comparison schools.
