School meetings will focus on fences, other safety measures

February 2, 2015 | 12:52 p.m.

Parents and Newport-Mesa residents are invited this week to a series of community meetings on safety initiatives, such new fences, at Andersen, Victoria and Adams elementary schools.

At the Andersen meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, district officials will lay out a final proposal and timeline to add a fence around the school perimeter, reconfigure the school's entrance and add plants and other aesthetic improvements. The meeting will be held in the multipurpose room at the school, 1900 Port Seabourne in Newport Beach.

Similar presentations are set for 6 p.m. Tuesday at Victoria Elementary, 1025 Victoria St. in Costa Mesa, and 6 p.m. Thursday at Adams Elementary, 2850 Club House Road in Costa Mesa. The presentations will take place in each school's multipurpose room.

Last year, the Newport-Mesa Unified School District board voted for safety initiatives at the three schools. Since then, each school formed a fence design committee, and the recommendations of the panels were incorporated in the proposals being presented this week.
