Board reviews bright ‘activation areas’ and mural designs for Lakewood and San Miguel
Summary
The board reviewed proposed activation-area designs for Lakewood and San Miguel elementary schools — colorful murals, a rainbow hallway, and TK/K‑area graphics — as breakouts from the district palette. San Miguel’s project also includes fence replacements and is budgeted at about $750,000 (maintenance funds); bids are due next week and staff will return May 5 for action.
District staff presented activation-area concepts intended to "elicit joy" on elementary campuses and showed site-preferred options selected by principals and teachers. For Lakewood, staff identified three activation areas: a playground-facing wall, a rainbow hallway inspired by Vargas, and a TK/K area with playful graphics and cleared scope awarded to Garrett Construction.
For San Miguel, staff proposed replacing low TK fences with 6-foot decorative metal fencing, painting activation-area murals, repairing dry rot, and performing other site improvements. Staff said the San Miguel package is estimated at about $750,000 to be paid from the maintenance fund and that bids were due the following Wednesday; the item is planned for action at the May 5 meeting.
