During the Pomona Unified School District's special board meeting on March 7, 2025, discussions highlighted the ongoing modernization efforts across various campuses, with a focus on combining smaller projects to secure funding. Brenda Garcia from LCC3 explained that by grouping projects like playgrounds, asphalt work, and parking improvements, the district can meet the $600,000 matching requirement necessary for funding applications.

A significant point of discussion was the renovation of Lincoln Elementary's auditorium, a historic structure in Pomona. Board members expressed a strong commitment to preserving the city's historic sites and sought more information on the progress of this project.

Additionally, the conversation touched on the potential for salvaging materials from gymnasium floors for adaptive reuse. This idea reflects a growing interest in sustainability and resourcefulness within the district's renovation plans.

The meeting underscored the district's proactive approach to modernization while balancing the preservation of its historical assets, setting the stage for future developments in Pomona's educational infrastructure.
