Monarch Development has withdrawn their application for a Subdivision Map Waiver. (See Letter of Withdraw). Due to this withdraw of the Map Waiver application, the project will not be scheduled for an appeal hearing before the Planning Commission.

Meanwhile, the Innovations Academy Charter School, currently providing education on public school land in Scripps Ranch, is still being fast-tracked to relocate by March 2020 to accommodate the Monarch Development 4-story apartment project, over the best interest of the students.

The rushed relocation is costing taxpayers $20 million dollars for the extra overtime building/worker costs with the total cost for the new school currently at $60 million dollars.

Thank you San Diego Unified for this financial mismanagement of school bond money and the obvious bad land deal with Monarch Development.

San Diego Unified is moving a successful neighborhood charter school for the benefit of a developer with little financial gain.

Expect over $100 million dollars in Prop Z & Prop YY bond money to be spent. ($60 million now, still need STEAM lab, furniture, staff, equipment)

Income from this “sweetheart deal” with Monarch Development can be spent on teacher salaries and pensions, not students or facility improvements.

Bond money laundering – it ain’t right!!
