Are there any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) issues?
If the number of pupils or the number of buildings at a site is increased, then CEQA should be considered. A categorical exemption may suffice if the number of added buildings is less than ten or if the capacity is being increased by less than 25 percent, whichever is less. In the CSR program, the number of pupils cannot be increased. Districts are encouraged to contact legal counsel with any questions regarding the CEQA requirements.
