Measure A

Summary of Proposed Projects

The 69 schools in the Garden Grove Unified School District range in age from 37 to 89 years old. Garden Grove High School opened in 1921 and moved to its present location in 1923. The district’s newest campus, Northcutt Elementary School, opened in 1973.

By the end of the current school year, more than half of GGUSD schools will be in excess of 50 years old, thus lacking many of the amenities of recently constructed schools. The functional life expectancy of school facilities with good maintenance is 50 years.

In consultation with industry experts, the district conducted a comprehensive draft needs assessment to identify and prioritize the revitalization and modernization projects to be funded subject to voter approval of Measure A. The following is a general summary of those projects:

repair and replacement of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems
renovation of restrooms and plumbing systems

installation or upgrade of electrical systems to safely accommodate computers, technology, and other electrical devices
repair and replacement of roofs, windows, walls, and doors
repair and replacement of fire alarms, emergency communications, and security systems
interior and exterior painting
repair of playground safety matting
improved access for people with disabilities
replace indoor and outdoor lighting for improved emergency efficiency
replace water and sewer lines
repair or replace flooring
upgrade seismic bracing for light fixtures
