SANTA ANA : Funding Sought for Intermediate School
The Santa Ana Unified School District Board of Education this week took the first step toward building yet another school to house the district’s rapidly growing population.
The board directed district officials to apply for $27 million in state funding to build what would be the district’s ninth intermediate school.
There are seven intermediate schools in the district, but enrollment projections show that two more will need to be built by 1998. The eighth intermediate school, to be built at Grand and Chestnut avenues, still awaits state funding.
The district’s student population is expected to reach 60,000 by the end of the decade, and there are $149 million in construction projects in the works.
