The grant likely will pay the $2 million cost of installing 20 modular classrooms Modular Classrooms are portable classrooms, also called temporary or relocatable classrooms, which are frequently used by schools in need of additional rooms or in emergencies. Modular construction is performed in a factory with the efficiencies of assembly-line techniques. and the $8 million to $9 million price tag of the 41,859- square-foot gymnasium gymnasium In Germany, a state-maintained secondary school that prepares pupils for higher academic education.

But officials are unsure how they will finance the rest of the capital improvement project - some 17,580 square feet of science classrooms and a 3,929-square-foot music room that will cost an estimated $19 million to $20 million. ``I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade."

The schools chief said he will decide whether to pursue a bond issue after bids come in this month for construction of the gym - the largest element of the capital improvement project. With a booming construction industry, contractors are able to name their prices, pushing the cost of construction above levels anticipated earlier, officials said. Moorpark voters have narrowly defeated three school bond measures in recent years, but an initiative on the November ballot would lower the threshold for approval from 67 percent to 55 percent, making passage easier, school board member David Pollock said. ``It's something that we've thought about in the past, and we're always doing the best we can to utilize state money to stay ahead of growth, but there's only so many rabbits we can pull out of our hat,'' Pollock said. ``And that's why so many other school districts are going to their voters to approve bonds, and actually Moorpark is famous for our ability to access state programs and that's why there currently is no bond indebtedness INDEBTEDNESS.

Pollock said the board has yet to discuss a bond measure, but that it would also likely include projects at other district schools and wouldn't go to the voters before the June or November 2001 elections.
