LAUSD breaks ground on sports complex at Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets

Superintendent Andrés E. Chait and other Los Angeles Unified School District officials hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday to launch the Athletic Upgrades Project at Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets, which will include a new track, physical education building and new football, softball and baseball fields, to be completed by next year.

The project is funded by $9.2 million from the district and $5 million from Lulu’s Place, one of the largest private donations in recent district history.

LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin also spoke at the event

Also on hand was Doug Kimmelman, executive chair and the founder of Energy Capital Partners investment firm, who is also founder of  Lulu’s Place, a non-profit organization that aims “to create a transformational nonprofit youth center that combines top-quality academic, athletic, and wellness programs for underserved youth in Los Angeles,” according to the group’s website. The organization’s own new campus is under construction not far away, in Playa del Rey, next to St. Bernard High School.
