    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian Announces $4.6 Million State Grant for
    Modernization of Grant High School


    Glendale, CA-Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) announced that
    Ulysses S. Grant Senior High School, in the Los Angeles Unified School
    District, was approved by the State Allocation Board (SAB) for
    $4,632,717 in Proposition 1D finding for school modernization.

    "I'd like to congratulate the students, parents, teachers, and
    administrators of Grant High School," Assemblymember Krekorian said. "I
    hope that this infusion of funding will go a long way towards updating
    this campus, and providing the high-quality learning environment that
    our students deserve.

    "In approving the Proposition 1D School Bond in November 2006, the
    voters of California recognized the need to build new schools, aid in
    class-size reduction, and modernize our out-dated school facilities,"
    Assemblymember Krekorian said. "I am pleased that the SAB is carrying
    out this mandate in approving new construction and modernization funding
    for schools throughout the state."

    Yesterday's SAB funding approval will cover 60% of this modernization
    project's total cost of $7,721,195. The Los Angeles Unified School
    District will contribute the remaining 40%.

    The State Allocation Board is responsible for allocating proceeds from
    General Obligation Bond Issues and other designated state funds. The
    Board is also responsible for administering the School Facility,
    Emergency Repair, State Relocatable Classroom and Deferred Maintenance
    Programs.

    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) represents the cities of
    Burbank and Glendale, and the Los Angeles communities of Atwater
    Village, Los Feliz, North Hollywood, Silver Lake, Toluca Lake, Valley
    Glen, Valley Village and Van Nuys.
