CHALLENGE | Develop drastic, cost-cutting strategies to manage a struggling school district’s 5,900,000-SF asset portfolio spanning 78 square miles. CONTEXT | In 2008, Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) was $89 million in debt and faced a $18-million structural deficit for the 2010-2011 school year. The district’s student enrollment capacity of 55,000 had dropped below 40,000 in 2008. Enrollment is what determines facility budgets even though scale, age, and physical conditions drive actual costs. High operating costs combined with declining enrollments was impoverishing the quality of education in the district. Solving this budgetary misalignment was imperative to OUSD’s financial sustainability and the educational equity of the district.
