Month: June 2018

The SDUSD school board voted last night, 4-1(Beiser), to approve the Scripps Mesa Joint Occupancy 4-story Apartment Project, as well as to certify the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR).  Bulldozing a school to building apartments.

VOSR still has many issues with the project, including: inadequacies in the Final EIR; lack of fiduciary responsibility to spend bond money on this project; State Board of Education approval under false pretenses; no community group support; safety of students with the residential apartments less than 150’ away; denied and delayed public record requests, attempts to delete emails, and misrepresentation of facts.

Please join Voice of Scripps Ranch at the next San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) board meeting to show your NON-SUPPORT for the proposed Scripps Mesa Joint Occupancy 4-Story Apartment Project.

The board hearing for this project has been scheduled only 10 days after the release of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR).  The Final EIR can be reviewed here.  The school board hearing meeting information is as follows:
