With this grant, BVSD would be able to address facility needs that were not included in the 2022 Critical Needs Plan. This would include additional roof replacements, HVAC and security system improvements, and classroom space improvements. -
New Vista High School - BEST Grant Capital Construction for $3,000,000
Upon completing an updated environmental building assessment, it was determined that the scope of asbestos abatement will be significantly more than originally anticipated to demolish the current building. Initial estimates from consultants project that abatement may cost approximately 50-75% more than prior estimates. If the BEST grant is awarded, it will help cover the increased costs.
