HOPE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FAST FACTS • • • • • • • •

Originally built: 1980 Current Enrollment 24/25: 660 Site =7.7 Acres Buildings = 53,195 SF (Permanent) 40 Parking Spaces 20% of Classrooms are in Portable Classroom Buildings Projected Enrollment 30/31: 641 Recommended permanent capacity: 670

Hope Elementary School is operating at high capacity with extensive use of portable classrooms to support a wide range of instructional and support programs. The campus layout and existing facilities present challenges related to space, functionality, and long-term adaptability, particularly as the school prepares for potential Transitional Kindergarten (TK) expansion. Hope Elementary stakeholders expressed key facilities needs: • Program Spaces: Portables are heavily relied upon for multiple uses, including Special Education (SDC), intervention (MTSS), arts, Kids Care, and general classrooms. There is a need to expand and better organize permanent spaces, including potential relocation of key programs and future accommodation of TK. • Modernization: Classrooms require flexible furniture and additional instructional tools such as whiteboards. There is also interest in reimagining the library as a more central and functional learning hub. • Infrastructure & Building Systems: Limited permanent storage across campus has resulted in reliance on temporary conex boxes, leading to inefficiencies and damage to materials.The MPR size does not currently support full school functions. • Safety & Accessibility: The front office has visibility and security concerns due to blind spots, and improvements are needed to create a safer and more welcoming entry. Parking and circulation also require attention, particularly with planned changes to reduce street parking and accommodate biking. • Site Enhancements: Outdoor learning areas are underutilized due to site conditions, and there is interest in improving these spaces. Longterm considerations include replacing portables with a more permanent classroom solution, such as a two-story building. 18

Poinsettia Elementary School was built in 2007 and is one of the remaining campuses in Carlsbad Unified School District that has not been modernized with Measure HH funds. The school includes joint-use community fields and serves approximately 476 TK–5 students, including Kids Care and special education programs. A new modular STEAM building was added in 2022. Enrollment is projected to increase slightly over the next seven years, primarily due to the addition of transitional kindergarten students. Poinsettia Elementary School stakeholders expressed key facilities needs: • Learning Environments: Desire for modernized, flexible classrooms with updated technology and adequate power. Specific program space needs include a dedicated music room and expanded Special Education (SPED) facilities, such as sensory-motor labs and private spaces for therapists. • Infrastructure & Site: Upgrades sought for asphalt resurfacing, roof/gutter replacement, and fire alarm systems. Critical drainage improvements, including a perimeter ditch, are also identified. Improved overall lighting and telecommunications are needed. • Safety & Accessibility: Emphasis on enhanced security cameras and door/gate locks. Addressing ADA compliance across the site (walkways, parking, drainage) is a priority, as is the need for a quiet room for student emotional support. • Support Facilities: The kitchen serving line should be upgraded to a "scramble area" for efficiency. The Multi-Purpose Room's functionality is impacted by cafeteria access, suggesting a need for redesigned entry. • Space Optimization: Stakeholders desire 1-2 dedicated classrooms for Kids Care and repurposing existing center pods. Improved staff restrooms are also a concern. SEPTEMBER 22, 2026

Calavera Hills Middle School is located in a residential neighborhood in northeast Carlsbad and shares a campus with Calavera Hills Elementary School.While each school maintains separate classroom buildings and play areas, they share key facilities including the administration space, kitchen, cafeteria, parking lot, and drop-off area. The middle school serves approximately 800 students in grades 6–8 and offers a range of academic and extracurricular programs, including visual and performing arts, STEM, and athletics. Its location within the community allows for strong connections with families and easy access to the joint-use fields and other shared resources on campus. Calavera Hills Middle School stakeholders expressed key facilities needs: • Program Spaces: Needs include dedicated support offices, a dedicated music room, and upgraded science spaces (storage, sinks, power). Collaboration and study rooms, a new STEAM lab, and a campus sensory room are also noted. • Modernization: Requests for flexible classrooms, removal of wall carpet, window screen repair, and upgrades to IT storage room functionality and sound insulation. Modernized finishes and improved, flexible classroom furniture are also mentioned. • Infrastructure: Electrical upgrades, improved cell service and campus-wide Wi-Fi, fiber backbone replacement, and a new voice evacuation fire alarm system are priorities. Power outlets for devices are also needed. • Safety & Accessibility: Addressing student access control at the administration area, enhancing buzz-in/visual security, and reevaluating drop-off zones are noted. ADA compliance for walkways and drainage is important, and more bathrooms are sought. • Site & Support: Outdoor learning spaces, landscape/turf upgrades, and improved playground amenities are sought. Upgrades to courtyard drains and an expanded indoor kitchen serving line are also highlighted. SEPTEMBER 22, 2026

Valley Middle School is proposed to undergo a series of strategic campus improvements and reconfigurations to better support instructional delivery and overall site efficiency. Key upgrades include the re-positioning of science lab spaces within each main classroom building to improve access and integration with academic programs. The plan also proposes utilizing an existing unused classroom/lab space in Building 1200 to better maximize underutilized facilities. In addition, portables are to be demolished to streamline the campus layout and improve site organization. A new building addition is also proposed, containing additional classroom space and an expanded kitchen, along with a new outdoor dining area located adjacent to the MP (multipurpose) building to enhance student dining and gathering opportunities.

Originally built: 2013 Renovated: 2018 2024/2025 Enrollment: 1,287 Students Site = 49.1 Acres Buildings = 265,996 Square Feet 783 Parking Spaces 0% of Classrooms are in Portable Classroom Buildings Projected Enrollment: 1,210 Recommended maximum capacity: 1,185

Sage Creek High School opened in 2013 and serves approximately 1,300 students in grades 9–12. Located in the eastern portion of Carlsbad, the campus features a modern layout with a central quad, stadium, and specialized Career Technical Education (CTE) and Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) facilities. The school offers a range of academic, athletic, and extracurricular programs, including special education and counseling services. As one of the District’s newest campuses, it has not yet undergone major modernization but continues to support growing needs through its diverse program offerings. Here is a summary of stakeholder feedback for Sage Creek High School: • Performing Arts Center (PAC): Address roof leaks and pit flooding, separate the black box for independent classroom use, and resolve HVAC and rigging issues. • Infrastructure: Comprehensive roof and gutter system replacements, especially at the PAC. Significant HVAC system upgrades or replacement are needed, particularly for aging and noisy units in the 3000 building, along with electrical upgrades for full electrification. • Safety & Security: Enhancements are requested for campus supervision and security cameras, upgrading access control, door locks, and gate systems, and improving traffic flow and parking. • Program Space & Capacity: Feedback highlights the need for expansion of Special Education (SPED) classrooms, development of dedicated SPED/resource and wellness spaces, and further development of CTE programs. • Site Improvements & Accessibility: Critical needs include ground sinking repairs and field drainage solutions, development of shaded outdoor seating areas and turf in the Internal Quad, and addressing overall ADA compliance across hardscapes and site amenities.

DISTRICT OFFICE Carlsbad Unified School District’s District Office serves as the central administrative hub supporting all schools, programs, and operational functions across the district. Located in Carlsbad, the campus has evolved over time from a traditional office setting into a more modernized, collaborative workplace designed to better support district-wide planning, student services, and instructional leadership. Through a series of phased improvements and interior reconfigurations, the facility has been updated to enhance workflow efficiency, improve meeting and collaboration spaces, and integrate modern technology systems that support both in-person and hybrid work environments. The District Office now functions as a flexible administrative center, balancing dayto-day operational needs with long-term strategic planning initiatives.

T F RA

Recent enhancements have focused on improving accessibility, workspace functionality, and overall campus usability, including upgraded conference and training rooms, improved staff work areas, and technology infrastructure improvements to support district communications and data systems. While the office continues to adapt to evolving district needs, it remains an active and essential hub for coordination between departments, school sites, and community stakeholders, reflecting Carlsbad USD’s broader commitment to operational efficiency and educational excellence.

NEW CENTRALIZED PRESCHOOL The following pages present an earlier concept for a potential new preschool facility located near the North County Academy site. This initial planning effort explored opportunities to co-locate early childhood education services within the vicinity, taking advantage of nearby district resources and supporting a cohesive educational campus environment. The concept focused on creating a purpose-built preschool setting designed to accommodate early learning programs with age-appropriate classrooms, outdoor play areas, and secure circulation separated from older student populations. The facility was envisioned with a strong focus on special education, providing flexible learning environments and dedicated support spaces to serve students with a range of developmental, behavioral, and accessibility needs. The concept emphasized inclusive design, appropriate staff support, and opportunities for therapy and specialized services within a safe and nurturing early learning environment.
