Measure E: School to begin remodeling in June

The Measure E bond, a $99 million bond for the Los Gatos Saratoga Unified High School District, will start making a noticeable impact on the school starting this summer. With large renovations planned, the school hopes to make a difference on campus in the next couple of years, especially for music students and athletes.

“The plans that have been completed are the plans for the music building,” assistant principal Kevin Mount said. “They are still working out some of the details, but the architectural drawings are already done.”

The school’s main focus is to tear down the current H building and place a large building for the music department. According to Mount, the building will be approximately 20,000 square feet and will be close to the McAfee Center.

Starting in June, the preparation for the new building will start. Construction should take about a year and a half or two years, Mount said.

Other plans include turfing the upper soccer field and softball field.

This work will begin right after graduation.

Due to budget issues, the school will not be immediately installing lights on the upper field.

“They will get everything ready to install the lights, but we don’t know if we have enough budget space to put the lights in right now,” Mount said. “We may to put in the lights later, but the plan is to have lights.”
