Even during the hottest days of August, JUSD students are able to enjoy their playgrounds and lunch areas thanks to the installation of new shade structures.
The structures are being installed at 11 sites and were funded with one-time federal funding that was distributed to districts to address the impact of COVID-19 (Elementary and Secondary School Relief Fund). A variety of factors were used to decide which sites would get this first round of shade structures and a shade feasibility study was conducted to determine priorities for shade structure installation. More shade structures are planned for the future when additional funding becomes available.
Many thanks to the JUSD Planning and Development team for helping our students have a "cool" start to the new year!
