Soil samples from the proposed site of Carlsbad Unified School District’s new $95.4 million high school on the Eastern Front have been sent off to be analyzed as part of the environmental study of the project, according to a story in the North County Times.
The study is designed to show how the proposed school would affect the land and its surrounding neighbors, said Walter Freeman, assistant superintendent of business services with the Carlsbad Unified School District. The study must also propose ways to minimize any effects, he said.
Even a group started to preserve the area doesn’t seem to have a problem with the land being used for a new school. Which is a good thing
Diane Nygaard, the president of a conservation group called Preserve Calavera, said her group had hoped the district would leave the land untouched, but that they aren’t fighting plans for the campus. “We would love to see it become part of the preservation area but clearly the school district needs it for (the) school,” said Nygaard, referring to a swath of open space along Calavera Creek from south Oceanside, through Carlsbad to Vista.
