Garden Valley Elementary School Permanent Universal TK Building Project

The Twin Rivers Unified School District is planning the Garden Valley Elementary School Permanent Universal TK Building Project in Sacramento, California. The project involves the construction of a 4,331-square-foot transitional kindergarten building on the southeastern corner of the campus along Larchwood Drive. This new facility will feature two classrooms, a support room, four restrooms, a storage room, and an electrical room, effectively increasing the total campus capacity by 10 percent to accommodate 40 additional students. The development includes new utility connections, surrounding hardscape improvements, and the replacement of an existing playground with a new one located just north of the building. The project will be executed in a single phase starting in winter 2027 and concluding in fall 2027. Site preparation requires the removal of 24 trees, though no existing buildings or structures will be demolished, and the total disturbed area will be less than one acre. According to the Notice of Exemption, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Categorical Exemptions Class 3 and Class 14. Victoria Garcia, Director of Facilities Construction and Planning, serves as the primary point of contact for this initiative.
