Superintendent’s Message

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT 

Following a couple of false starts, Anderson Valley Unified with the partnership of CalTrans Clean California is off to a clean finish with a remarkable partnership of installing the new natural field and synthetic track as part of the Clean California AV Track and Field for Health Project.

The almost  five million dollar transformative project in the picturesque Anderson Valley will serve a community with few health amenities and keep citizens from running on the highway.  Integral to the grant design is a health and fitness component to reduce diabetes in the community and provide an amenity to serve the high socio-economically impoverished community with a health and fitness opportunity to transform rural recreation.  The grant was received under the Cal Trans Clean California Grant opportunity truly transforming under-served communities.

The project had some significant challenges and initial bids came in over budget for an all weather field and the project had to be redefined to fit budget parameters.  Superintendent Larson shared, “We are so grateful to CalTrans for their partnership as we redefined scope and we are exceptionally grateful to Rege Construction and Don Alameida, Architect, for their work.”  The grant was originally awarded under the former Superintendent Louise Simson and Chris Vetrano related Larson, but the current team has led the field to fruition.

“It is an amazing community amenity for the citizens of Boonville and we are truly grateful to CalTrans for the partnership" related Larson-Balliet.  “Congressman Huffman was extremely supportive of this “ask” and we are grateful.”
