On Tuesday, August 23rd Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. along with the rest of the Board of Supervisors approved funding for projects that will be located within the Colton Joint Unified School District. This action is in response to the American Rescue Plan Act - Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Subrecipient Contracts in accordance with the approved Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funding Spending Plan. The approved item will provide both Bloomington High School baseball and softball fields, and Joe Baca Middle School’s soccer field improvements and project plan to promote exercise by providing the students and the community better opportunities to access quality outdoor recreational spaces.
“I am excited to announce that after board approval for our Colton Joint Unified School District, we have finally received the funding to begin projects on both the Bloomington High School baseball and softball fields and the Joe Baca Middle School soccer field. These improvements encourage exercise and healthier living for our children and community. It promotes better relationships between students on and off the fields, all while reducing the number of repairs, downtime, and maintenance needed to keep the fields safe and accessible for all.” – Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr.
