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.
