School Construction and Renovation

Schools built for 500 children had as many as 700 children attending. Poway High School, built to hold 1,500 students, had 3,100 students in attendance in the 2004-2005 school year. The oldest school building in the district was built in 1949. Many of the other school district's buildings were constructed in the mid 1970s and were nearly 30 years old. Much of the initial wiring, plumbing, mechanical systems, and structures remained as they were.

With state funding from the State of California already at its maximum, and the schools still being underfunded for renovation, the school district decided to borrow the money. The voters approved the $198 million Proposition U bond measure. The money will fund renovation, repairs, and construction at 24 existing schools within the school district. Aging classrooms will be renovated, plumbing and electrical systems will be upgraded, and new permanent classrooms will be constructed to relieve current overcrowding.
