Ralph Richardson Virtual Community Meeting – May 6, 2026

The San Juan Unified School District held a virtual community meeting on May 6, 2026, to discuss planned modernization and capital improvement projects at Ralph Richardson School. The meeting focused on presenting preliminary plans developed by 196 Architects and CPM Capital Program Management, including a phased approach to constructing a new classroom building, improving parking and drop-off areas, upgrading HVAC systems, and enhancing specialized facilities such as a medically graded nurse station and storage for special equipment. The district emphasized selecting a qualified building partner through a procurement process based on qualifications to manage construction on an active campus with minimal disruption. Community input was solicited via an ongoing survey and public meetings, with plans to provide further design updates and cost estimates in future sessions. No specific contract awards or dollar amounts were disclosed during this meeting, but the discussion highlighted the importance of early contractor involvement and budget considerations in the project planning stages.
