Last year was a milestone for El Rancho, and this school year is already moving forward. The Board of Education’s support and care have made it possible for the district to undergo an impressive transformation, which will boost learning and strengthen the school communities. Four multipurpose rooms at the elementary schools are being converted into modern, flexible spaces designed to accommodate meals, assemblies, and other events. The construction of the next batch of these rooms is scheduled for this spring, thus continuing the improvement of the district beyond the boundaries of these schools.
Several major projects are also in progress at the high school. The refurbishment of the band room will provide the student musicians with a location that encourages their imagination and advancement, while the installation of a new shade shelter at the pool will make sports and student activities more comfortable. The complete remodeling of the main gym is also being planned—a place that has always been there, with students and families, full of lovely memories. In addition, the groundbreaking for the new science building that features the latest technology is anticipated to happen this spring, making it possible for advanced research and discoveries.
“Additionally, the team manages the implementation of the $52 million District Measure EE and the $200 million District Measure ER bonds that were approved by Pico Rivera voters in 2010 and 2016.” – El Rancho Unified School District.
The ambitious efforts are being supported by the hard work and the coordination of El Rancho’s loyal staff, who are going to ensure that progress is maintained with a minimum of disruption to the learning. Beyond so many changes already in effect—and more on the horizon—it is a wonderful time to be a part of the El Rancho community. Along with the hard work of staff, the support of community members, and the leadership of the Board of Education, El Rancho is investing in top-notch facilities for its students because that is what they deserve most.
