Page 2 February 2, 2017 Wiseburn Staying on Target and Looking Forward By Haleemon Anderson The Wiseburn School Board began the new year with a focus on the final phase of construction at the highly anticipated new high school. Wiseburn High is scheduled to open this fall. When completed, the multi-million-dollar complex will be the first comprehensive high school to be built in the area in over 50 years. Vince Madsen, Director of Facilities Planning, said the innovative plan for the school has gained attention in development circles. “We are definitely affecting the industry,” he said. Madsen reported at last week’s School Board meeting that despite 43 change orders on the agenda, the project is nevertheless on target. “We’re looking right on track,” he said, noting the goal is to have teachers setting up rooms by July 31. Madsen pointed out the contribution and fundraising efforts of major developer and landholder Richard Lundquist that facilitated the partnership with the District and the City C e r t i f i e d a n d L i c e n s e d P r o f e s s i o n a l s plumbing & heating painting PAINTERS PLUS INTERIOR • EXTERIOR PLUS IMPROVEMENTS • REPAIRS FREE ESTIMATES LOWEST PRICES • GUARANTEED QUALITY 5 YEAR FREE MAINTENANCE SERVING THE BEACH CITIES FOR OVER 20 YEARS CALL DON 310-798-0450 LIC # 726089 handyman BILL’S HOME & APARTMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR QUALITY at Handyman Prices.

Deputy Chris Jones told the Board he is preparing an updated technology budget to be presented later this quarter. “It will give you an idea of what our next projections will be,” he said, adding that everyone is anticipating the upcoming Wiseburn High opening. “We are doing what we can to ensure a smooth opening.” Jones also called attention to the need for a traffic impact study at the corner of Utah and Douglas. This corner will serve as the pick-up and drop-off location when school is in session. Chief Business Official Dave Wilson reported on an upcoming meeting of oversight committees for Measures A and AA. “We’re going over revenues, expenses and balances through December 31,” he said. The parcel tax measure (A) was wildly popular in the November general election, passing with near 75 percent voter approval, and will fund park improvements. Wilson mentioned Measure CL, which also passed in November. This measure will raise over $11 million a year for Wiseburn and other local districts, and the funds will be used for enhanced technology and academic programs. Wilson also reported the District’s 2015-16 audit has been completed and submitted to Los Angeles County. “There were no audit findings,” said Wilson. Board Vice President JoAnne Kaneda thanked President Israel Mora and member Roger Banuelos for their work on both the School Board and the Wiseburn Foundation Board. Superintendent Tom Johnstone announced audits had been completed by both local Little League organizations, Aviation and Hawthorne National Wiseburn, as had been requested by the Board. Johnston said American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) will also conduct an audit and submit results to the Board. The teams play on Wiseburn fields. The 2017 season is underway with sign-ups ending February 3 and Opening Day on February 25. A Board member has been invited to throw out the first pitch. Johnstone added that the academic calendar for next year will be out by next meeting, with a start date of August 22 for all schools. He also announced that Mayor Alex Vargas will deliver the State of the City of Hawthorne next month on Wednesday, March 29. The reception and luncheon will take place at the Memorial Center at 3901 West El Segundo Boulevard, starting at 11 a.m. In other school news, Dana Middle School held a showcase for its drama classes. A student at Dana won the Geography Spelling Bee and will move on to the state competition, sponsored by National Geographic. April 1 has been set for the district-wide Rock Around the Block, the annual music and carnival-style festival. The next meeting of the Wiseburn Unified School District Board will be held Tuesday, February 7 at 6 p.m. •
