The District is exploring various properties within the Eastside neighborhood for a future elementary school. Three options are being considered for review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR):
Option 1: Lincoln Continuation High School + acquisition of land, vacate portion of Park Avenue
Option 2: Acquisition of land, vacate portion of Park Avenue, joint use of Lincoln Park
Option 3: Acquisition of land, vacate portion of Park Avenue, reconfigure Lincoln Continuation High School
Project Budget: $62,000,000.00
District has purchased 12 properties
Environmental consultant: PlaceWorks

Architect: PBK-WLC
Option 1 project site would be a total of 8.17 acres including the 4.27 acres to be acquired and the District owned 3.9-acre Lincoln High School. Lincoln HS students would transfer to a different facility within the District. An elementary school (TK—6) would be constructed on the entire 8.17-acre site.
Would require the acquisition of 4.27 acres totaling 25 parcels to construct an elementary school (TK—6). The existing District-owned, 3.9-acre Lincoln High School would remain and maintain current operations, and a joint-use agreement would be prepared to use the adjacent 3.3-acre Lincoln Park as playfields for the elementary school during school hours.
Would require the acquisition of 4.27 acres totaling 25 parcels. The District-owned, 3.9-acre Lincoln High School would be demolished and cleared and a new smaller high school and an elementary school (TK—6) would be constructed on an 8.17-acre site.
