How Do You Think College Park HS Should Spend $6.7 Million Windfall?

A teachers' lounge, baseball dugouts and a new paint job are all on the table. Make your voice heard.

Back at the end of April, Mount Diablo Unified School District trustees voted to divide $40 million between the district’s six comprehensive high schools to be used for facilities and equipment upgrades. College Park’s share works out to a hefty $6.7 million. Now the school community needs to figure out how to spend it.

The list of ideas for the $6.7 million include a new coat of paint for the whole school, baseball dugouts, new chemistry labs, more campus bathrooms and a teacher’s lounge. Tell us in the comments what you think College Park High School should do with the money.

The windfall comes from “restructuring” Measure C money, which is already paying for power, water and sewer lines to the athletic fields, new windows and doors for the school's J and H wings, and technology upgrades, including campus-wide wifi.

If you are part of the College Park community, and you want to chime in on the suggestions now under consideration, here’s a place to get more information and provide feedback. The final decision will be made by the College Park School Site Council at the end of May.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

The Fire Crew worked very late into the night and into the next morning. The Police were alsoRead More working nearby, picking up some of the dead baby animals that were hit on the road, displaced by the fire.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
