OLGA BEVZ
President
Olga Bevz represents land development and home building companies, specializing in school facilities planning and school policy issues. Olga prepares concepts, strategies, and school mitigation agreements to ensure 21st-century school facilities are delivered on-time for new homeowners. She designs the methodologies for quantitative models and analyses to determine student generation rates, needs and costs projections, cash flows, and development impact fees. She analyzes requirements of Education and other California Code for development projects and issues such as district organization, surplus property, developer fees, state funding programs and educational enrichment programs.
While working on the schools for the Irvine Ranch, the Ranch at Mission Viejo and other large master plans and infill developments throughout California, Olga learned that well-planned schools directly influence student learning and achievement. Looking to deepen her expertise, Olga completed a Certificate in Light Construction and Development Management from the UC Irvine Extension Program and the BIA Presidents Leadership Academy.
Olga monitors education-related political issues locally and statewide. She works with the California Department of Education, the Office of Public School Construction, the Department of State Architect, City Planning Departments, school districts, and non-profit organizations throughout California. Housing affordability is in a crisis in California. Olga works with Building Industry Association chapters throughout Southern California, to ensure the school development impacts fees are fair, justifiable, and do not exacerbate home prices.
After gaining 16 years of experience Olga Bevz opened her own company, JCJ Partners, LLC in 2018.
