Measure HV project priorities: Valley school to receive science classrooms and playground work
Summary
District consultants and advocates outlined a phased project list for Measure HV proceeds: Series 1 is forecasted at $8M focused on Hermosa Valley (two flexible science classrooms, performing arts space and a district technology audit); later series will address HVAC, admin entry upgrades and athletic/field improvements.
District program staff and consultant Alan Rising walked the board through a prioritized project list grounded in the 2024 master plan and community input. For the first series the team recommended focusing on Hermosa Valley School for two new flexible science classrooms and performing‑arts space, plus a district‑wide technology systems audit. "So to start ... we're proposing to engage in this, $28,700,000 bond program," Rising said, and he confirmed the forecasted 2025 receipt of roughly $8,000,000 for Series 1.
Board members raised timing, expenditure rules and construction sequencing concerns — including whether portables can be reused and how playground replacement would fit into the phasing. Staff explained a typical IRS three‑year expenditure expectation for bond proceeds and said they expect to be able to expend Series 1 funds within that window while staging projects to limit campus disruption. The board directed staff to bring a formal priority list back for approval and to incorporate community input during schematic design.
