Prop U

Proposition U projects have already brought visible improvements across the District, and the momentum continues this winter. With  Phase 1 projects nearly complete, students and families are benefiting from safer facilities, upgraded play spaces, and modernized athletic fields.

Last year, playground renovations were completed at Pershing and Jackson Park Elementary, and safety enhancements have been added at Barbara C. Jordan, Pershing, and Julia Goldstein Early Childhood Education Center. New secure entrances at Flynn Park and Jackson Park Elementary have recently been completed.

At University City High School, football has returned to the new multipurpose field at Muhl-Schemmer Stadium, bringing school spirit and community pride back home. Several major projects are now complete as well, including the sustainable kitchen at Brittany Woods Middle School and the Fresh Harvest hydroponic garden at UCHS. Looking ahead, renovations to the UCHS auditorium are on track to wrap up this summer.

None of these transformative projects would be possible without the unwavering support of the University City community. This investment in the District directly contributes to the well-being, safety and success of students. As these improvements continue, the District extends its deepest gratitude to the community for its trust and partnership in shaping the future of education in University City.
