WHO WE ARE          

Save our Students - Safety Over Sorry (SOS2) is an East County community group committed to preserving the safety and rural character of this community by preventing the building of any high school at the intersection of Chase Avenue and Jamacha Road.  We value our community and want to be a catalyst to keeping our community, and especially our children, safe.

​

Our organization came together after attending Valle de Oro Community Planning Group meetings in January and February 2020 at which the issuance of a permit to a charter high school was on the agenda.  One by one we stood and made our strong objections known.  Our voices were heard and the VDOCPG unanimously voted against the project.  but the County continued forward without regard to our elected officials' unanimous vote.

​

Recognizing that our shared objections would have a greater impact as a collective voice, we organized as a non-profit corporation known as "Save our Students - Safety over Sorry".  SOS2 now represents more than 850 members of the community and our numbers are growing.  As we learned more about the high school project and its many CEQA violations, to which the County willingly became complicit, we became more and more committed to taking whatever steps necessary to prevent the project from moving forward, to prevent the many dangers and other problems that would result from building a high school at Chase and Jamacha and to ensure the county is made to comply with the law.
