- Share via
The City Council has agreed to provide $80,000 for the construction of a community meeting area at Jefferson II Elementary School.
Under the agreement between the city and Anaheim City School District, an enclosure will be built over a patio, helping to modernize the campus while providing benefits to the community.
The district approved the agreement in March, which will accommodate community activities, after-school youth programs and the school’s lunch program.
Money for the project will be taken from the Community Development Block Grant funds. The funds will provide for the installation of a roof over the lunch benches, electrical and water systems, and connections to the school’s public address system.
