MISSION STATEMENT

​

Save Our Students - Safety Over Sorry (SOS²) is an East County & Rancho San Diego community effort dedicated to preventing the development of a high school at the intersection of Chase Avenue and Jamacha Road.

While we do not question the quality of the charter school itself, we believe this is an inappropriate site for any school and that a development of this scope will create significant and negative impacts on traffic and safety which will result in imminent and unmitigable dangers to our community and its families for generations to come. It is for these and other reasons that we are opposed to any school being built at the intersection of Chase  Avenue and Jamacha Road.

Together with our attorney and experts we have reviewed the proposed project application and all the project applicant's supporting documentation as well as the County's documentation including the:
 

  •  Initial Study

  • County Staff Report

  • Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration

  • Government agency comments

  • Public comments

  • Communications between the project proponent (Literacy First Charter Schools, Inc.) and County Staff

  • Other relevant documents and communications


Based on this review, we are of the opinion that the issuance of a major use permit for the building of a high school at the intersection of Chase Avenue and Jamacha ,Road which property is currently zoned for rural residential use, violates the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) and thus such a permit cannot be lawfully issued.

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY STOP THE BUILDING OF A HIGH SCHOOL
AT THE INTERSECTION OF JAMACHA ROAD AND CHASE AVENUE

​

​


During the December 9th County Board of Supervisor's meeting , Dianne Jacob implored the other Supervisors to deny the issuance of a permit and commented that placing a school at this location would "create a very dangerous situation that will be jeopardizing the safety of the traveling public...this project will make an already bad situation worse".

If this project proceeds, the traffic and safety issues it will create will severely and negatively impact our community for generations. Because we are serious about protecting our community from the resulting traffic and safety issues, our only option at this point is to go to Court to ask a Judge to uphold the laws which the County has refused to comply and prevent the County from permitting the building of the high school. To do so WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW.

Please support our efforts to protect our community and the safety of its families by donating to SOS2's litigation fund. To get started we need to raise funds to cover initial court costs, expert fees and other litigation costs.

Please note, our attorney has agreed to defer certain profession fees to help our funding go further.


THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES OUR BEST EFFORTS SO PLEASE HELP BY DONATING  TODAY!
