Notice is hereby given of the availability of following document:
Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Calwa Elementary School Reconstruction Project.
The Fresno Unified School District proposes to implement the Calwa Elementary School Reconstruction Project using Measure H bond funds. The project would involve the selective demolition and reconstruction of existing campus facilities, interior renovation of seven existing buildings, construction of a new Multipurpose Room, Administration Office, and Early Learning Building, and associated site improvements including new parking areas, student and bus drop-off facilities, and redeveloped play areas. Construction would occur in two phases while school operations remain in session. The project would not increase student enrollment or campus capacity and would modernize the campus to meet current educational, accessibility, safety, and energy-efficiency standards.
The Draft EIR is available for public review at Fresno Unified School District, 4600 North Brawley Avenue Fresno, CA 93722 and online at: https://www.fresnounified.org/departments/facilities and https://ceqanet.lci.ca.gov/2026030919
The 45-day public review period begins on September 2, 2026, and closes on October 17, 2026. A public hearing on the Draft EIR will be held on October 7, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. at Calwa Elementary School, located at 4303 East Jensen Avenue, Fresno, California 93725.
