State Gives $37.8 Million Toward New School
The William S. Hart Union High School District has received a $37.8-million state grant to pay for half the cost of building a new high school to relieve overcrowding, officials said Thursday.
The proposed Golden Valley High School would accommodate 2,600 students on Golden Valley Road west of Sierra Highway, said district spokeswoman Pat Willett.
The district hopes to raise matching funds locally with Measure V, a $158-million bond initiative on the November ballot, Willett said.
About 17,000 students are enrolled in the district’s 12 schools, which were designed to accommodate 10,200.
