Build a new middle school according to the voter approved Measure K

By Jolanda Schreurs, Ph.D.

6 School Board Candidates - 2 distinct visions of the future middle school. Three candidates (Jolanda, Dwight & Roy) have a clear, education- student-centered position: Build a modern, new school at a New site, in accordance with the voter-approved bond language of Measure K AND build the school adjacent to a New Boys & Girls Club. Counter to the Bond language, the three LCP candidates want to build at the old site & constrain infrastructure- thereby limiting growth

As a mother, the co-chair of Measure K which raised the $35M for our facilities construction, and as a community member, I want to build a middle school as quickly as feasible. To do that, we need to acknowledge that no one solution is perfect, and that there may be more than one viable solution to building a middle school. We also need to recognize, that the Board serves to provide for the best education possible for our coastside children.
