Irvine Co. representatives presented a school plan for the Santiago Hills Phase II Project to the Orange Unified school board last week. The project calls for 1,886 homes between Jamboree Road and the Eastern Transportation Corridor, two neighborhood parks and one community park, a kindergarten-through-sixth-grade school and 220,000 square feet of business space.

The Irvine Co.’s school proposal included reserving eight acres for an elementary school next to a five-acre park, building the 600-student school by September 2004, providing temporary classrooms at Chapman Hills Elementary School during the 2003-04 school year, planning for the future of El Modena High School, refurbishing Santiago Middle School and taking advantage of state matching programs.
