San Diego Unified School District Board Member Richard Barrera, San Diego Council President Todd Gloria, and ALBA Community Day School Principal Vernon Moore joined students, school staff, city and school district leaders, as well as community members on Dec. 6 for the official dedication and ceremonial ribbon cutting for the newly upgraded joint-use facilities adjacent to San Diego Unified School District’s ALBA Community Day School.
Improvements included a new basketball court, new 30-foot light poles at joint-use playing field, new matting around the horizontal bars, a resurfaced ALBA ribbon-cutting ceremony joint-use play field, newly repaired concrete sidewalk areas, new signage and new fencing around joint-use play field.
The cost of this project was approximately $400,000, which was funded by school district’s Proposition S bond program. Construction began in July 2012, and was completed in early November 2012. Project partners were IBI Group (architectural) and GEM Industrial Inc. (construction).
The City of San Diego and the school district have a long-standing agreement to maximize shared use of schools and/or park land to mutually benefit the city and the school district. The facilities shared by the city and the school district include multipurpose turf fields, lighted athletic fields, tennis courts, gymnasiums, parking facilities and libraries. In total, the school district and the city currently have nearly 80 joint-use agreements.
