Building a Middle School for Our Community

By Jim Grady

Candidate for Council Member; City of Half Moon Bay

This information is provided by the candidate
I will continue to work with the Cabrillo Unified School District Board to build a new middle school as rapidly as possible.
Since the passage of Measure K in 1996, our community has waited for a new middle school to be built. When I ran for the City Council and was elected four years ago, my key campaign issue was the need to build a new school. My belief then and my belief now is that the new school should be sited in the middle of our town, in its current location at Cunha.

It is critically important to rebuild our middle school in the downtown area, the heart and soul of our community. A downtown location provides supervision for our kids, proximity to the police station, doctors' and dentists' offices and the site of what we hope will soon be our newly rebuilt library.

A school location close to the library will increase our chances of winning state grant funding for the new library that our community wants and needs.

In the same way that Cunha's Country Store was rebuilt quickly after the fire through fast-tracking the permitting cycle, a new Cunha middle school can be fast-tracked, making it quicker and more economic to build than a facility at any other site.
