Inglewood Unified details $246 million facilities program and shows demolition progress at Inglewood High
Summary
District officials said the Measure I–backed facilities program has roughly $246 million allocated to ongoing projects, provided timelines and budgets for modular classroom builds, a $15M Child Development Center and Inglewood High School reconstruction with demolition underway.
The Inglewood Unified School District on April 8 detailed progress across its Measure I facilities program and showed new photos of demolition and reconstruction work at Inglewood High School. Assistant Superintendent and Chief Business Official Rafael Guzman said the facilities program had about $246 million remaining as of March 2026 and that those funds are allocated to existing projects. “As of March of 2026, the district had $246 million remaining for its facilities program,” Guzman said.
Jordan Miles, the district’s executive director of construction, gave a project-by-project update, noting a $15 million modular rebuild of the Child Development Center (with $4 million coming from Harridge Developers), modular classroom deliveries for Bennett Kew and Oak Street, and multiple roofing and sealant projects at City Honors and other campuses. Miles said many modular classrooms are fabricated offsite and will be set on permanent foundations this spring and summer; he cited an $11.5 million budget for Bennett Kew and $350,000 for a City Honors painting project.
Miles also showed progress at Inglewood High School, where crews have been demolishing the existing campus since the district finished its final environmental impact report. He described the construction work organized into packages (site development, CTE, modernization, and building packages) and said design work has been approved or is under state review. A guaranteed maximum price with Balfour Beatty was approved at a prior meeting for package one, Miles said.
Guzman reiterated that the funds cited are already programmed for projects and contingencies and that the district is pursuing additional state reimbursement via the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC). He said the district submitted five OPSC reimbursement applications totaling about $12.5 million for previously completed projects and is preparing an OPSC hardship application for the Inglewood High reconstruction, which he said could reach ‘‘tens of millions’’ if approved.
Board members asked about classroom impacts during construction; Miles said classrooms remain in use at Bennett Kew and the CDC while some offices have been relocated. Guzman and Miles said contingencies and reserves are included in each project budget to absorb unforeseen conditions identified during excavation or demolition.
The board did not take a formal vote on new construction packages at the meeting but is scheduled to consider GMPs and contract approvals at upcoming meetings. The district also announced a forthcoming rekeying of all campuses between June and August and plans to tap federal incentives for solar procurement by placing orders before the July 3 safe-harbor date.
