Aspen provided comprehensive public participation services for the Program EIR for the Los Angeles Unified School District New School Construction Program. The district boundaries cover the City of Los Angeles and all or portions of 25 other cities and the County of Los Angeles. Aspen prepared the Notice of Availability and noticed the release of the Draft Program EIR in 22 newspapers in multiple languages. Notifications were mailed to the 2,100 contacts on the Community Database, and the Draft Program EIR was distributed to the 29 repository sites and placed on the LAUSD website. Aspen prepared a second mailing and newspaper advertisements to notice the six public meetings on the Draft Program EIR. Aspen prepared all handouts and presented the summary of the Program EIR at these six meetings. Aspen prepared and distributed the meeting notices and mailings for the certification meetings before the Board of Education. Two advertisements, one week apart, were placed in 22 newspapers and in multiple languages to advertise the certification meetings and a telephone hotline number was arranged for receiving public input on the program. We prepared the Findings of Fact for the Board of Education at the meetings held in May and June 2004.
