Shade structure installed at Bonsall High School quad

During the winter break, the shade structure over the Bonsall High School quad was completed.

“It’s beautiful,” said Bonsall Unified School District superintendent Justin Cunningham.

The shade structure covers most of the quad and protects students who are eating lunch or engaged in other activities in the quad from sun and from rain. “It’s a pretty unique shade structure,” Cunningham said. “It’s very sturdy.”

On Dec. 11, the Bonsall Unified School District board voted 3-0, with Erin English and Sylvia Tucker absent, to approve an agreement with Construction Testing Engineering for materials testing and inspection services for the shade structure installation. The $6,972 contract with Construction Testing Engineering included concrete testing and welds inspection. “We wanted to make sure that was all done well,” Cunningham said.
