OJAI : School Panel Weighs Day-Care Proposal
The board of the Ojai Unified School District has voted to conceptually support a children’s day-care center proposed for a plot of district-owned land in downtown Ojai.
The board voted unanimously Tuesday to direct two of its members serving on a joint committee with members of the Ojai City Council to continue researching the child-care center, proposed for a 30,000-square-foot parcel of district land next to the East Ojai Avenue park-and-ride lot.
Proponents of the center have been calling for before- and after-school child care in the Ojai Valley since last summer, when two Meiners Oaks Elementary teachers first proposed it. The City Council and the Ojai Redevelopment Agency have also given the project conceptual approval. The Redevelopment Agency has also reserved $60,000 in its 1991-92 budget for a low-interest loan to the child-care provider selected to operate the center.
