School Enrollment Issues to Be Discussed
A five-year plan that addresses housing and enrollment issues across Newport-Mesa Unified School District is the topic for a special meeting of trustees today.
The board will review a draft of a plan to address districtwide student population growth. The proposal includes three phases to be implemented by 2001.
Some of the long-term solutions include adjusting school boundaries and adding portable buildings.
In addition, trustees will consider reopening the former Rea School in Costa Mesa as a magnet school by fall 1998. The trustees also will review the possibility of opening a new elementary school in Corona del Mar for 500 students or more by 1999.
The special meeting, which will seek public comment on the issues, will begin at 7 p.m. at Harper Community Center, 425 E. 18th St., Costa Mesa.
Information: (714) 760-3500.
