Bay View Elementary
Bay View is a multicultural, neighborhood school that offers an enriched educational experience to all students, kindergarten through fifth grade. This welcoming, bustling campus has a unique architectural style that helps define the neighborhood. In a busy location in a high-traffic area, Bay View has a very active parent community, who regularly volunteer and access the school. Currently on pace to be the district’s first “net-zero” energy use campus, Bay View has long led the city in green infrastructure. Hosting preschool as well as TK-5 students, Bay View has complex needs and currently needs half of its classrooms to be modernized for contemporary use and energy efficiency.
As we work to improve all classroom environments, Santa Cruz City Schools is committed to sustainability and moving toward our goal of Net Zero emissions campuses. All modernization projects included in the Facility Master Plan Update shall include the following sustainability components:
