ON THE AGENDA
Here are some of the items the Glendale Unified School District
board will discuss Tuesday.
MEASURE K CONSTRUCTION STATUS REPORT
The Glendale Unified School District's Measure K construction is
more than half finished, with 13 of its 30 campuses left to be done.
Measure K is a $186-million bond approved by voters in 1997 to
renovate and modernize the district's schools.
WHAT TO EXPECT
District officials will report that Balboa Elementary will be
finished by the end of February, nearly two months ahead of schedule.
Mountain Avenue Elementary School is nearly finished, with the
exception of one building that needs to be re-stuccoed. The elevator
will be fully operational after it is inspected by state officials.
ARTIFICIAL TRACK AT GLENDALE HIGH
District officials and athletic program advocates want artificial
turf installed at Glendale High School's Moyse Field. The district
does not have the funds to pay for the $1.3-million project, but the
city of Glendale is willing to lend it the money. The money would be
repaid from the tax revenue the district would receive over 20 years
from the Americana at Brand project.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Trustee Chuck Sambar asked that the item be returned to Tuesday's
agenda to be voted on. Sambar and board President Greg Krikorian are
in favor of the project, and Vice President Mary Boger and member Pam
Ellis are against it for mostly financial reasons. Clerk Lina Harper
will likely be the deciding vote.
