New High School Gets Flipped The Bird

by The Editors on August 16, 2008

Least Bells Vireo 01Thanks to the “discovery of two endagered birds” during an environmental review on the planned site of Carlsbad’s new High School, the opening date is going to be pushed off until 2011.

Two nests of least Bell’s vireo, which primarily inhabits riparian woodlands, scrub, and thickets for breeding, were found on city property between the high school site and College Boulevard, district Superintendent John Roach said. . . . The birds were discovered as part of an environmental review of the 57-acre site at College Boulevard and Cannon Road. The Carlsbad Unified School District is building the new campus to reduce overcrowding at Carlsbad High.

That means a little more time in the porta-classes, kids.
