Additional enhancements expected to begin construction this summer include and will be completed by the start of the 2020/2021 school year, include:

• Installation of permanent fencing along the perimeter of the school. 

  • Some sections will continue to be chain link fencing, while other sections (front entrance to the high school, student parking lot - adjacent to the pool and Learning Resource Center (LRC), and parts of the fencing near the baseball field/middle school entrance) will have ornamental fencing. 

• Construction of new sidewalks throughout the campus to allow for pedestrian traffic within the interior and exterior of fence perimeter. 

• Reconfiguration of the school bus pick-up/drop-off along Mar Vista Drive to allow construction of additional sidewalks.

• Reconfiguration of the student parking lot near the pool and LRC for accessibility enhancements.
