FJUHSD details more than 35 summer facilities projects and bond program staffing; district cites roughly $5 million in local commitments
Summary
Facilities staff reviewed 35+ summer projects across FJUHSD — turf and track work, roofing, fencing, new flooring, HVAC and HVAC controls, and CTE/CTE‑related investments — and said about $5 million of district general funds were committed, alongside $7 million in Cal SHAPE grants and a $248 million bond program manager.
Fullerton Joint Union High School District facilities staff presented a broad overview of summer work and bond projects, saying the district completed more than 35 projects funded through a mix of district funds, grants and bond allocations.
"Tonight we're pleased to present an overview of our 2025 summer facility projects, which include over 35 projects across the district," Facilities staff said; they estimated a district general‑fund commitment of about $5,000,000 and described two Cal SHAPE grants totaling $7,000,000 earmarked for utility and energy efficiency upgrades.
Specific site work included new carpeting and flooring, auditorium stage and lighting upgrades, adjustable height basketball backboards, slurry seal on exterior courts and parking areas, turf and track restorations, fence projects around Fullerton Union and other campuses, upgraded welding‑shop infrastructure at La Habra, temporary restrooms for the Fullerton varsity baseball field, and HVAC and plumbing fixture upgrades across sites.
Project timelines and approvals are being coordinated with state and regulatory reviewers; staff noted they have submitted soils reports and are working on the DSA/State Architect intake process for larger Measure I and Measure L projects. For Troy High School, staff said DSA approved a seismic upgrade approach and noted a potential additional $20 million in state funds tied to seismic work.
Facilities leadership also described internal staffing changes tied to project delivery: reorganizing after retirements, promoting three assistant directors, hiring a transportation director and adding a fiscal manager to oversee the district's reported $248,000,000 bond program.
Trustees thanked staff for highlighting both visible campus improvements and less visible deferred‑maintenance work (HVAC, roofing). Staff said remaining work and change‑orders would be brought back as board items for approval where needed.
