Walnut Elementary School: Phase 2
The passage of Measure “O” in 2012 has brought many 21st Century educational experiences to our campuses. The first phase was completed in the Fall of 2015. Key Phase 1 accomplishments include the modernization of “Academy” and “Science” classrooms and the distribution of over 2,000 iPads to students and teachers at Washington and Imperial Middle Schools. Also, courtyard safety improvements were made at Imperial Middle School. In addition, roofing repair/replacements were completed at school locations most in need. The District costs for the Phase 1 improvement totaled $6.9 million and was funded by Measure “K”, voted in by the community in 2000, and our current Measure “O”.
La Habra City School District Phase 2 efforts started with improvements to Walnut Elementary School. In 2015-16 improvements were made to the lunch area. The 2016-2017 school–year began with improvements to the drop off and pick up areas; including a new electronic marquee.
The first wing of renovated classrooms at Walnut School will be completed this winter. This modernized building will house not only classrooms, but the new library/media center and computer lab. This grade 3-5 site will also benefit from infrastructure and energy efficient upgrades. The District has budgeted $3.5 million from Measure “O” for these improvements.
The District appreciates the Community Support for these improvements by the passage of Measure “O”.
