As you know, I have related that the Capistrano Unified School District has installed artificial turf on their football fields at Capo Valley High School, San Clemente High School and Dan Hills High School. My estimate of costs was about $600,000 per school (based on UNLV football field costs), or a total of $1.8 million for the three schools. I WAS WRONG –YES, WRONG. THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FROM CUSD INDICATES THAT EACH FIELD COSTS A COOL $1.0 MILLION PER FIELD --OR A TOTAL OF $3.0 MILLION. All this while Newhart Middle School has been allocated $720.00 from Measure A-- nice -- very nice. It is more obvious now that a gym at Newhart -- or even Newhart school itself -- is not a priority of the present CUSD Board of Trustees or the present administration. The is no way that the City of Mission Viejo should dip into its reserves to build a gym at Newhart that is not even a designated priority in funding for Newhart Middle School by the CUSD.
