Want To Know More (Or Add Your $.02) About CDM Enclaves?

If you’re confused about the early plans for a so-called enclave — a section of the Corona del Mar High School campus carved out for middle-schoolers — the district is planning a study session on Dec. 8 that could provide answers.
The enclave project would be paid for by Measure F bond money. Measure F passed in 2005 and already has paid for the Robins-Loats project at Newport Harbor High School and the Tewinkle Middle School gym. The next round of bonds are slated to pay for enclaves at CdMHS and at Costa Mesa High School, as well as new theaters. Ultimately, bond funds are to pay for improvements to elementary school multi-purpose rooms.
The Board of Education recently approved preliminary plans for the enclave projects. But parents at Corona del Mar High School and Middle School said they were puzzled by how the plans would benefit the middle school students.
“It is my perception that our seventh graders will be leaving the ‘enclave’ for at least two of their six classes, plus lunch, etc., and our eighth graders for three of their six classes,” one person wrote on a Facebook page set up for community discussion. “I would have presumed that the District would have mapped out the day of a seventh grader and an eighth grader to see how they would be using the campus. Has this been done? Can it be done? ” (To read our story about the page, click here.
Plans currently include demolition of the underused Building 400, moving parking places (and adding 81 spots), moving the P.E. building by the football field and other work. The new 350-seat theater would the campus centerpiece, and the middle school enclave would be in the area near the front office’s current location.
District officials said the Dec. 8 meeting will be held in the District Education Boardroom at 2985 A Bear Street in Costa Mesa. They anticipate the meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend, they said.
