Woodland Hills wins $100,000 grant for high-school weight-room remodel; district plans supervised community access
Summary
Trustees accepted a $100,000 grant from state Senator to support a remodel and celebrated a completed weight-room renovation; district said non-athlete students and staff will be able to use the facility under supervised schedules.
The board acknowledged receipt of a $100,000 grant from state Sen. Costa for the high-school weight-room and fitness center remodel during the April 9 meeting and discussed community access and supervision.
The grant, presented for acceptance on the agenda, supplements private and corporate support that helped complete the facility renovation and equipment purchases. Board members and staff described a plan to staff the weight room at least three to four days per week so students not on athletics teams can access supervised workout time after school. Trustees said teachers and some board members had already used the facility informally and that the district would formalize supervised access when an additional staff schedule is posted.
Trustees and administrators gave repeated thanks to the facilities team for the heavy lift of moving equipment and preparing the space. Several board members and staff also noted the influence of outside partners and donors in bringing the project together.
Ending: The administration said it will post a position to provide scheduled supervision (EDR position referenced) and will return with a usage plan so students and community groups can safely use the facility under district policies.
