A school that serves San Diego children impacted by homelessness broke ground on a new facility Thursday.
Monarch School is remodeling a 51,000 square foot warehouse in East Village.
The current facility is 10-thousand square feet--
This will allow the school to teach twice as many students.
Right now, Monarch School has about 135 students, from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The expansion will allow for a science lab, dedicated classrooms at every level, green space for children to play
Administrators hope the renovations will be complete by September.
