The San Joaquin County Office of Education plans to do its part to conserve water during California’s historic drought.
So brown will be the new green with the grounds crew cutting back on water use by 40 percent. The one exception will be the Venture Academy Family of Schools Athletic Fields, which will be kept green to keep the playing surface safe for students.
The grounds crew will keep a close watch to make sure we don’t lose any trees while cutting back on watering the grass.
