Riverside Unified adopts partial long‑range facilities plan, approves Arlington gym‑floor change order

The Riverside Unified School District Board of Education on Thursday approved a partial 2025 long‑range facilities master plan so staff could meet a state funding deadline for career and technical education projects, and authorized a change order to repair an Arlington High School gym floor.

Staff told trustees the partial plan is a "living" document that will be amended as the district completes further public meetings and technical updates. "The state facilities program requires that we submit a long range facilities plan with our applications for state funding," a district staff member, Mr. Williams, said during the presentation, urging the board to approve the partial plan so CTE applications due in December could be filed on schedule.

The board approved the plan after trustees stressed the document would continue to be refined. "This is a living, breathing document and we will continue to work on it," Trustee Dr. Hernandez Alexander said before the motion to approve was called.
