District Wins Preliminary Funding OK for 2 Schools
Los Angeles school district officials seeking land for desperately needed classroom space are making plans to build elementary schools over a county flood control channel in Arleta and in a section of Exposition Park.
The proposed schools would incorporate state-of-the-art technology, such as the replacement of student desks with computer stations, said school district facilities planner Philippe Yancey-Piens.
The school district has won preliminary approval from the state Allocation Board for its application to receive special construction funds to pay for the two new schools, district officials said. But carrying out the plans is contingent on the availability of the land in Arleta and the approval of the museum’s board at the Exposition Park site.
