Proposition B includes a number of major projects, including a complete overhaul of the track and athletic field at the High School/Middle School campus, and renovation of the theatre.

 

In the slide show below, you will see significant pooling of rainwater on nearly all sections of the track, as well as peeling and cracked surfaces. Anywhere you see pooling, there is potential degradation of the asphalt surface below. The longer the upgrade is deferred, the worse the deterioration. 

 

On the athletic field, the dirt is highly compacted and is unable to absorb the water. A new field would have a sand base, allowing quicker absorption of rain.  It would also have a lesser "hump" in the middle of the field, slowing runoff to the sides and minimizing spillover to the track. 

 

In the theatre, a facilities assessment has indicated the need for the seating area floor to be stripped and refinished. 

 

At the Early Childhood Center, the assessment points out aging rooftop HVAC units, damaged and worn flooring in the kitchen, and poor conditions on the parking lots, among other issues. The library, in its current configuration and uninspiring condition, is not conducive to student learning and unaligned with the School As Studio metaphor. 

 

Our elementary school is plagued by water leaks due to aging and deteriorating roofing and guttering. Under Proposition B, MRH Elementary School would also benefit from a new Seed to Table classroom.
