WVUSD: 2016/2017 Year-End Results
Facilities
Based on the passing of Measure WV, we have developed a plan for projects that are
scheduled to begin construction in the next year with our first issuance of funds (approximately
$45,000,000). The receipt of Proposition 39 funds will allow our District to replace exterior
incandescent lighting with new LED lighting throughout the District and replace some of the
aging HVAC units. This investment in our facilities aligns with our Local Control Accountability
Plan (Goal 1 - Clean, safe, environmentally responsible and well-maintained facilities). The
Board of Trustees has approved contracts for the architectural services for Collegewood
Elementary School’s new 2-story, 14 classroom Science and Technology building; Evergreen
Elementary School’s parking lot modifications; Walnut Elementary School’s new multipurpose
room and fencing upgrade; Diamond Bar High School’s new music/band building, multi-
purpose facility, and modernization of the 500 building. In addition, there are other non-bond
related projects such as the Districtwide exterior painting of every school, purchasing new
handheld radios, slurry sealing and striping playgrounds, resurfacing high school basketball
and tennis courts. (Note: These are some of the highlighted projects scheduled for completion
in the fiscal year 2017/2018.)
The following place an emphasis on maintaining clean and safe facilities.
• A general maintenance project list and bond project list have been created and work
schedules are being established
• Research solar power options
• Develop a plan to add LED lighting to all exterior buildings
• Utilize Proposition 39 funding to replace old HVAC units with new energy efficient units
at the following facilities (37 AC units and 2 heaters):
o Diamond Bar High School – 12 rooftop AC units and 2 heaters
o District Office – 9 rooftop AC units
o Ron Hockwalt Academies – 10 wall mounted AC units
o South Pointe Middle School – 4 rooftop AC units
o Suzanne Middle School – 2 locker room AC units
