The school District has decided to move the start of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process to January 2017.
The EIR process will begin with a public scoping meeting. If a project is of statewide, regional, or area wide significance, the lead agency must provide notice of and hold at least one scoping meeting. The scoping meeting is designed to solicit public and agency comments regarding issues the EIR should consider.
Requests keep coming in for the yard signs and the Voice of Scripps Ranch (VOSR) mailing list keeps growing. If you would like to get a yard sign and/or get added to the email list to receive updates, send a request to voiceofscrippsranch@gmail.com.
Your Neighborhood Matters
The District announced the redevelopment plan of school property to the community back in December 2015 and said – “the project is a done deal.”
The VOSR was created and is promoting “NO Closing Schools for Apartments” to emphasize the importance of school property FOR KIDS not developers and the overriding goal of Kids and Neighborhoods 1st!
The school District needs to spend up to $50 million taxpayer dollars in Prop S & Z “Capital Improvement” bond money for buying property and building a new school to relocate the Scripps Ranch established Innovations Academy charter school. What started as a redevelopment plan – to make the District money – has become a plan that displaces students; tears down a neighborhood school, is funded by taxpayers; will cost more than gained; and takes Prop S & Z bond funds away from critical school infrastructure and renovation projects promised to voters in the bond measure.
