MISSION VIEJO : Construction of New School to Begin
The Saddleback Valley Unified School District has agreed to pay $5.4 million for construction of a new elementary school. Construction will begin Thursday.
Portola Hills Elementary School will be built by Douglas E. Barnhart Inc., a San Diego construction firm, which offered the district the lowest price among the seven firms that made bids for the job. The highest bid was $5.9 million.
The school will be located on Saddleback Ranch Road in Portola Hills and is scheduled to open in the spring of 1993. It will have a maximum enrollment of 750 students.
A property tax assessment against the owners of newly constructed homes near the school will raise $4.2 million for the construction. The state will pay the remaining $1.2 million.
