SDUSD approved the spending of $20,000,000 Prop Z bond funds, by vote of 4-1 (Beiser), to relocate the Innovations Academy charter school. This decision evicts the charter school to a dirt lot in a commercial business park on portable buildings, tears down the existing school, in order to build a 4 story apartment complex in its place with questionable financial gain to the district and big financial gain to a developer – and uses taxpayer money to do it!
Several Voice of Scripps Ranch coalition members attended the meeting to speak on agenda items H-15, the approval of the bond funding and agenda item, I-32, the approval of an additional $530,000 in bond funds to pay for environment impact reports for other tasks as assigned with the Scripps Mesa site.
