Hoover Town Hall Meeting Tuesday

On Tuesday, the Burlingame School District is holding a town hall meeting addressing the future of the Hoover school site, which is set to open as a neighborhood school in the 2014-2015 school year.

BSD staff and architects will be on hand to update parents on the status of the school, the selected design, a site plan and traffic study for the future K-5 school.

The district will renovate the building at 2220 Summit Drive and construct a new building for a total of 11 classrooms, a day care and a library with construction costs of $9.8 million. The Burlingame School District board members hope funding for Hoover will become available through passing a future bond measure.

Hoover School was purchased over the summer of 2010 using funds from Measure A, a $48.3 million bond measure passed in 2007. Most recently, the school was owned by Shinnyo-en, a Buddhist organization.
