Solar panels are being installed at schools throughout MDUSD as part of the Measure C bond. Pamphlets were sent home with students in December to inform families about the changes. The solar panels will be installed on the blacktop and in the parking lot. The construction is scheduled to begin in January and end in April, with the fences scheduled for installation on January 12.  The construction and the construction materials will significantly impact the traffic and parking around Valley View during that time, as much of the staff parking lot will be used for storage. The school administration is working with local officials to determine best solutions, which will be communicated with the community as soon as possible. The map of traffic adjustments can be downloaded here: Traffic Map for Solar Project Construction Time
