Document Description
WCCUSD proposes to renovate an existing, onsite school building (e.g. upgrades to utility lines and data lines, fixtures, and painting); to install 13 modular classrooms; to undertake improvements to the campus' outdoor areas, including asphalt resurfacing and grading; to improve and expand the existing surface parking lot; and to operate two alternative education programs and a staff development program at the Vista Hills site at 2465 Barnard Street in the City of Richmond.
Upon completion of the proposed site upgrades, WCCUSD would operate the Vista Independent High School, the Transition Program and staff development/training on the site. Students enrolled at the Vista Hills Education Center would be relocated from El Portal School to the site. Vista Independent High School would be designed to accommodate approximately 300 students in independent studies programs (with an average of 60 daily part-time students), and would include a staff of 14 full-time teachers, a principal and two full-time clerical personnel. The Transition Program would serve an estimated enrollment of up to 120 students, nine teachers, 28 aides, two clerical personnel, and one half-time secretary. Vista Independent High School and the Transition Program would be physically separated on the campus and would operate independently of each other. The proposed project would also continue staff development on the Vista Hills site. Staff development would include between nine and 12 teachers on a daily basis. Total onsite daytime student and staff population would be roughly 250 people. The Transition Program would operate between the hours of 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, and Vista Independent High School and staff development activities would occur between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.
Proposed building improvements, site upgrades and installation of the portable units would begin in July 2005. Construction and installation is anticipated to last approximately six months, with project completion scheduled for December 2005. During the construction, students would remain at El Portal School and would relocate to the project site by the second semester, in January 2006.
