The fifth-largest school district in California, the Elk Grove Unified School District, has partnered with Verde Design, an integrated landscape architecture and civil engineering firm, for the first phase of the District’s campus-wide athletic improvements as part of the Measure M bond program. Florin, Franklin, Laguna Creek and Pleasant Grove High Schools are set to receive four new track and field venues, and a new all-weather, synthetic turf field will be installed at Valley High School. The projects, currently in design, will support Elk Grove Unified School District’s goal of providing athletic programs to students that enhance their physical, social, and academic development.

About Measure M and Elk Grove Unified School District
On November 8, 2016, voters in the Cities of Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento, and the County of Sacramento, overwhelming passed Measure M. This bond measure provided $476 million in critical capital improvements to the Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD), pursuant to its Facilities Master Plan. Established in 1959, EGUSD is located in southern Sacramento County. The District spans 320 square miles and includes 65 schools: 40 elementary schools, nine middle schools, nine high schools, four alternative education schools (including a virtual academy), a special education school, a charter school and an adult school.
