Franklin opens new classroom building as $74.9 million project continues

What happened

LAUSD reported that Franklin's new two-story, 13-classroom building was completed for the 2026-27 school year. Work continues on a food-services building, outdoor areas, playground improvements, and ADA upgrades, with overall completion scheduled for the third quarter of 2027.

Why it matters to families

The $74.9 million project changes classroom space, campus access, parking, food service, and outdoor facilities, while continuing construction may affect students, families, and nearby residents through 2027.

The evidence

LAUSD's August construction bulletin identifies a $74.9 million classroom replacement project, says the classroom building is complete, lists the remaining campus work, and gives a third-quarter 2027 completion target.
