SANTA PAULA : Work on School to Cost $629,000 More
An additional $629,000 will be spent to complete the first phase of the Santa Paula High School renovation, school board members decided Wednesday.
“We’re just beginning to put on the finishing touches,” said Tahir Ahad, Santa Paula Union High School District’s director of fiscal operations.
The first phase of the renovation project, which will cost a total of about $3.3 million, was begun last January. The $629,000 will come from a $5-million bond measure that local voters approved in June, 1990, Ahad said. The 86-year-old campus has not been renovated since the 1930s, he added.
Classrooms are being remodeled and repainted, asbestos is being removed, water pipes replaced and ceilings repaired in the administration building and the science and industrial-arts wings.
