• A new multipurpose room and two classrooms at Rancho Tehama Elementary – This project was met with overwhelming enthusiasm during our March Town Hall meeting, where families, staff, and community members came together to ask thoughtful questions, share valuable suggestions, and express their excitement for what’s ahead. The new multipurpose space will serve as a hub for student meals, assemblies, enrichment programs, and community use, while the additional classrooms will support growing instructional needs.
• A new CDS modular building and an expanded parking area – This will create a more accessible, functional, and safe space to support students enrolled in our Community Day School program.

Our elementary schools are some of the most important assets in our community and should be our number one priority. From higher-achieving students to greater neighborhood safety and improved property values, quality schools make a difference.  Although it appears that our local schools are in good shape based on the achievements of our students, our classrooms and school facilities need significant repairs and improvements.  Read More HERE about the General Obligation Bond Measure passed on the November 5 ballot.  

Phase II of the West Street Modernization Project was completed in December 2023.  This project consisted of the construction of an approximately 10,000 SF new multi-purpose room facility, approximately 2,000 SF new kindergarten classroom wing, nine new wood-framed adjoining classrooms, and associated site improvements.  

 

The project consists of a synthetic, six-lane running track, including a long jump and shot put, a soccer field (inside the track), and a new softball field completed Fall of 2024

 

Three new shade structures have been erected (2 at Olive View Elementary and 1 at Woodson Elementary) that will provide an outdoor learning area and shade on hot sunny days.

 

Four towers have been erected: one at West Street Elementary, Maywood/DaVinci Middle School, Woodson Elementary School, and one at Corning High School. The towers provide free internet to families who live within the service map. The internet service will be filtered for precise campus-related connectivity.

 

New fencing at Maywood/Davini Middle School and West Street Elementary has been completed.

 

A generator at Rancho Tehama Elementary School was completed in Fall 2023.  This will allow the school to continue during PSPS outages.
