Agenda Includes School Renovation
Board members of the Garden Grove Unified School District will consider tonight a $2.6-million renovation project to reopen the Marie L. Hare Continuation High School this fall.
The campus, a former intermediate school at Chapman Avenue and Magnolia Street, was closed in 1980 because of declining enrollment. School officials, facing an increasing student population, decided to give the site a face lift to serve about 310 students who are behind in receiving credits at their regular high school campus.
The district’s current continuation-school site, Lake High School, will move to the new Hare location. Board members will consider next month converting the Lake High site into another type of campus.
Renovations at Hare are expected to begin in the spring. The proposed plan includes new plumbing, paint, fire alarm, telephone and intercom system, roofing, sprinkler system, carpet and tile, asbestos treatment and improvements to the parking lot and electrical system.
The meeting starts at 3 p.m. in the boardroom of the District Education Center, 10331 Stanford Ave.
