LETTER: Seeking community input on new Harwood renovation bond
November 8, 2023Dear HUUSD Community,
You are invited to participate in discussions on the future of Harwood Union High School.
Built in the 1960s and renovated with areas of new construction in the 1990s, the school is experiencing deterioration and major component failures. Improvements are needed to adequately meet current and future educational needs.
The Harwood Unified Union School Board is considering three main categories of renovation/construction options partially based on the failed bond from November 2021. The School Board is seeking your input on how to proceed. The community will be receiving further information in the coming weeks with summaries of the three main categories.
Please note that the HUUSD School Board took a vote in May 2023 and unanimously decided to remove middle school consolidation plans from the current list of building needs so the options that will be discussed will involve renovations to Harwood as a middle/high school.
The school board expects to decide this spring on the components to be included in a new bond which will be tentatively scheduled for November 2024.
This is a major undertaking that will have an impact on school district programs and finances for years to come, so your input is crucial. Please participate!
Sincerely,
Harwood Unified Union School District School Board
