With 375 students, Wallace is over capacity and is functionally outdated. The unreinforced brick school was built in 1942 and seismic upgrades are necessary, yet are cost-prohibitive and would further restrict the use of the school. Approximately $8.8 million in state matching funds will be used to offset project costs. Replacing this school will:
Provide learning and instructional spaces necessary to help improve academics and quality of student and staff life
Address severe parking and traffic flow problems in the neighborhood
