San Marino Unified outlines $200 million bond-funded projects, including new medical arts and classroom buildings
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Steven Choi described phase‑one projects tied to the district’s recent bond support — a new Medical Arts/CTE building at the high school, two‑story classroom additions, Carver Elementary TK/K facilities, temporary classrooms this summer, roofing work and track-and-field replacement.
San Marino Unified School District officials onstage at the district’s State of the District described a set of facilities projects tied to recent voter support for a district bond.
Assistant Superintendent Steven Choi said voters approved a roughly $200 million bond that will fund phase‑one construction and early impact projects. Choi outlined major work planned at San Marino High School, Carver Elementary and other campuses: a new Medical Arts and career‑technical education (CTE) building at the high school; a two‑story building adding fourth‑ and fifth‑grade classrooms; dedicated transitional‑kindergarten and kindergarten buildings at Carver with separate drop‑off and playgrounds; and temporary classrooms to be installed this summer so construction does not disrupt instruction.
Choi also described districtwide early impact projects already underway, including systematic roof replacements beginning at Huntington Middle School, campus safety and infrastructure improvements, and planned replacement of San Marino High School’s track and field following recent stadium seating updates. He encouraged community members to sign up for Measure M/MeasureM alerts and visit the district Measure M webpage for schedules and updates.
District leaders tied the projects to student programs. The Medical Arts/CTE building will support the district’s Medical Arts Academy and media arts, robotics and other CTE offerings, creating flexible spaces for career‑focused instruction and internship partnerships with local providers.
The presentation did not include a formal vote or final construction calendar onstage; Choi’s remarks described projects in planning and early construction phases. The district said temporary classrooms will be installed beginning this summer to maintain continuity of instruction while major projects proceed.
Next steps: district staff will continue planning and public updates via the Measure M webpage and district communications; no new board action was announced during the State of the District presentation.
