Students Move Into Renovated School
More than 500 students and their teachers have packed up their classrooms and moved into a renovated school.
Renovations at Richmond Street Elementary School, which had been closed for a year, were finished Friday.
All year, classes had been held at Center Street School across town. But school officials had always planned for students who live west of Main Street to move to the Richmond Street school once it was finished, officials said.
Over the weekend, movers packed up books and supplies from more than 10 elementary classrooms. And on Monday, students came to the school and found the same teachers and classmates there with them.
Renovations at Richmond were part of a $28-million overhaul of four district schools. The renovation is being paid for with money from a 1997 school bond.
Reconstruction of El Segundo High School will begin next fall, with Center Street School also scheduled for modernization in the next year.
