This park could be going to the dogs. Sort of.

At Tuesday night’s meeting of the Garden Grove Unified School District Board of  Education, one item on the agenda is a memorandum of understanding  with the City of Garden Grove for the development and use of Warren Elementary School in Garden Grove as a temporary K-9 (police dog) training facility.

GGUSD leases a portion of the campus for Pioneer Park, which is located at 12722 Chapman Ave., east of Harbor Boulevard.

The agreement, if approved, would run from May 8, 2024 through June 30, 2028 and can be terminated by any of parties with a notice of 90 days to the other party.

The facility – the first of its kind in Orange County – would be to train both traditional police dogs that are used in enforcement activities but also “emotional support” dogs who can comfort victims of trauma.

Also on the agenda will be the recognition of high school valedictorians, employees of the month and public hearings and presentations on initial contract proposals from employee groups.

The board meets at 7 p.m. at 10331 Stanford Ave., Garden Grove. The GGUSD serves most of Garden Grove as well as parts of Anaheim, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Stanton and Westminster.
