Document Description
The Colton Joint Unified School District plans to install new field lighting at Colton High School's varsity baseball and varsity and junior varsity (jv) softball fields and replace existing lighting at the JV baseball field, totaling 21 steel poles with 134 luminaires. These improvements will meet California Interscholastic Federation lighting standards and include features to eliminate skyglow and reduce light spill and glare near residences. The lighting will support existing school and community use without expanding programs or enrollment, accommodating later evening activities due to a later school start time. Construction, approved by the Division of the State Architect, is scheduled in the third quarter of 202 and will be phased to minimize disruption to school operations. The proposed improvements would benefit the school and community
