Other Funding - Hart District Facility Improvements
A variety of construction projects are currently underway or have just recently been completed. Security cameras have recently been installed on all school district campuses. This new security system was funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of Justice in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sheriff. The cameras provide protection for students, staff and visitors to Hart schools and assist in the preservation of equipment and facilities.
The acoustics at two Hart District high schools will be greatly improved through a maintenance project funded by the Santa Clarity Valley Facilities Foundation. In the fall of 2009, Golden Valley and West Ranch gymnasiums will be retrofitted with an acoustical treatment to the ceilings that will provide sound clarity comparable to other high school gymnasiums in the Hart District.
