School field gets Funds 7/28/10 TDH

A Santa Cruz school has won a lottery to receive a low-interest construction bond from the federal government.   Branciforte Middle School officials plan to use the 2.3-million dollar bond to renovate the school’s athletic field.   The bond is being given through the Federal Recovery and Reinvestment Act.  It allows Santa Cruz City School District to pay back the money at less than 1-percent interest, over 17-years.  That amounts to annual repayments of about 18-thousand dollars a year.  The school competed with others that have projects considered “shovel ready.”   Over-hauling the athletic field has long been on Branciforte Middle School officials’ wish list.
