Rustic Lane Elementary School Modernization Project

The Jurupa Unified School District proposes to modernize Rustic Lane Elementary School by modernizing the existing buildings and constructing new buildings, play areas, and a parking lot. Portable buildings would be installed at Pacific Avenue Academy of Music (PMM) to accommodate Rustic Lane Elementary School students during construction. The proposed project would modernize Buildings B through H; convert the existing portable library/innovation center to classrooms; and construct a new classroom building, administration and library/innovation building, and Transitional Kindergarten/Kindergarten building. Site improvements would include a parking lot expansion, a new solar canopy, new play areas and a 29,000-square-foot playfield, fencing, landscaping, and upgraded circulation. The number of classrooms would increase by 4. At PMM, 20 portable classrooms would be installed during construction, with 18 removed upon completion. Additional PMM improvements would include the expansion of the dismissal area, replacement of the PA system, resealing and restriping of the playground, and paving the southern parking lot. The District has an agreement with the Free Church of Tonga, north of PMM, for overflow parking and would provide busing for Rustic Lane Elementary School students living more than 2 miles from PMM. Construction would start in Summer 2026 and end in July 2028. Beneficiaries include students, staff, and the surrounding community.
