McClatchy High School Opens New Athletic Field
Improvements end conditions that were dangerous and outdated for student athletes
This past summer, the Sacramento City Unified School District board approved more than $4.5 million in funding to make the much-needed improvements. The project was made possible thanks to Measures Q & R. The measures help local schools make upgrades and renovations that are very much needed. Many of our neighborhood schools are 50 years old and need significant updating. The measures are necessary to maintaining the quality of our local schools. The ribbon cutting ceremony will kick-off the opening of the new synthetic field and track.
WHO: Peter L. Lambert, Principal at CK McClatchy High School, Sac City Unified School Board President Jay Hansen, school staff and student-athletes.
WHAT: The ribbon cutting will kick-off the opening of the new field and all-weather surface track. The cost of the project was $4.5 million. $2 million from the CKM Field allocation, part of a $10 million grant split between five local schools and $2.5 million from the Core Academic and Repair Allocation grant. Renovations started in June 2017 and were completed November 1, 2017.
WHEN: Thursday, November 9, 2017 at noon.
