Where will the new school go?

 

Hi,

My name is Zachary Scott Cadman. I am running to be on the school board so if my name is on your ballot vote for me. A vote for me is an acknowledgement that the Etiwanda School District is a great district. It is a vote to continually support our students to get the best education possible while maintaining a healthy respect for parental rights and good pay for our teachers/staff to attract the best. 

One thing the school board does is prepare. There is a developer who owns a lot of land who has proposals to increase the amount of housing on the east side of the 15 freeway. His proposals will increase housing 3,000 to 7,000 houses and apartments. If this goes through the school board will have to build a quick school to accommodate all those new houses before more permanent upgrades to current schools would be able to accommodate them.

If you look above you can see the proposed site of the new school. It's the little white square that says ETIWANDA SCHOOL DISTRICT. It is currently a field of shrubs that I thought was all a part of the flood control just east of Summit Intermediate school. Looks like the city of Rancho Cucamonga owns land right next to Summit.

This was discussed at a recent board meeting telling all the possible new housing projects and what the school may have to do to help all the new influx of new students the new housing would bring. Some of the new housing was very compact apartments that I do not agree with but that is a city of Fontana planning issue. Hopefully they can talk them down to a more reasonable housing situation. They might build huge maybe 7 story apartments surrounding Falcon Ridge Elementary School that would be around 3,000 new apartments. If you live in Fontana you may want to voice your opposition to the city planning and city mayor.

This is just one example of what our district has to have funds saved for in case they need to build a new school fast.

Vote for me Zachary Scott Cadman. I will do my best to keep you informed.
