On October 14th, students and staff at Clara J. King School, in the Cypress School District, will give the community an opportunity to celebrate with them the Grand Reopening of their school, in order to showcase the improvements made possible through modernization funds from the Measure M General Obligation Bond approved by voters in 2008.

King is the second school in the Cypress School District to be modernized. We have included on the website photos of the school during construction and after completion, along with those posted for Vessels when that school was modernized. Highlights of modernization include SMART Board technology in every classroom, a new computerized checkout system in the library, and new playground equipment.

The modernization schedule is as follows:

2011/12 school year Morris modernization
2012/13 school year Arnold and Luther modernization
2013/14 school year Landell modernization
2014/15 school year all sites contingency projects
