OVSD-Measure R Update/Timeline

Huntington Beach, CA-Beginning in the 2018-2019 school year, Westmont Elementary School, which houses our Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Academy, will be modernized. The Westmont students and staff will move to the Sun View Elementary School campus. Sun View will serve as our interim/temporary campus during each schools’ modernization project. Construction at Westmont will be completed in time to welcome everyone back for fall 2019. Next will be College View Elementary School in the 2019-2020 school year. During construction, College View students and staff will safely attend school at Sun View. Our District team has prepared a tentative timeline for modernization at our remaining campuses. This amended approach maximizes Measure R cash flow and expedites physical improvements at more schools, such as fencing and field projects. Our Board of Trustees voted to support an expedited fencing plan. It is anticipated that safety fencing will be installed at all of Ocean View’s campuses by the end of the 2020-2021 school year, using an attractive tubular steel panel system at a height of eight feet, and supplemented by interior fencing, using two-inch chain link fencing at a height of six feet. Perimeterfencing for our campuses located adjacent to “pocket” parks will also use a tubular steel panel system ata height of eight feet to enclose the school grounds.
