 LAUSD Board President Monica Garci
and Eric Farcetti announced the allocation of more than $3.5 million to build a new athletic field at Belmon High School This is a big victory for students, teachers, and administrators who advocated
for this project.
The funding will support a major renovation of the existing athletic field at the Belmont campus
that was originally built in 1923 and primarily serves students from the Historic Filipinotown and Pico Union neighborhoods.
The project will include installation of an artificial turf field and a decomposed granite track. The current athletic field
is not maintained during certain seasons during which time students participating in physical education classes or extracurricular
sports must play on dirt and in dust. The new facilities will be available to community organizations for use on weekends
and evenings.
School Board President Garcia secured $2.5 million in LAUSD funding, including Joint Use funding from
previous school construction bonds and $1.1 million from her discretionary fund, to help build the new facility. The City
of Los Angeles is providing $1 million in funding from voter-approved Proposition K and Community Development Block Grant
funds, which the city allocates under guidelines established by the state and federal governments respectively.
