School Construction and Modernization Projects – Year 2014 (CA Dept of Education)

The State Allocation Board (SAB) today disbursed more than $372 million to be used for 105 school construction and modernization projects across 43 school districts, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced.

“These additional resources can go a long way toward creating facilities that meet today’s needs and, in the process, help our schools save money and put Californians to work,” Torlakson said. “Our students deserve every opportunity to learn in schools that are designed for the 21st century.”

Torlakson’s Schools of the Future Initiative (PDF; 1MB) outlined his approach to “21st century learning,” including the construction and modernization of school facilities, utilization of new technology, energy efficiency, and facilities for science and career technology education.
