News From The Rancho Santa Fe Review

One of our local papers, the Rancho Santa Fe Review offers information on community activities and local information.

The town has been diligently on the new school project and here are some of the latest details on the progress per the "Review"

From an article by RichardBurdge the RSF School board president:

"After much discussion the board felt it was important to gauge public support for possible alternatives being considered to relieve overcrowding and improve school facilities. A written survey has been mailed to all registered voters in the district and will be asking for voter preference on the the following alternatives:
* A Rowe campus renovation in the range of $30-$34 million. This option maintains the Rowe school on its existing 9-acre property.
* A Rowe campus renovation and expansion in the range $39-$43 million. This option includes the above scenario and provides money to acquire adjacent land to the Rowe campus as it becomes available.
* The purchase of the Quantum property( located on Del Dios Hwy. and El Camino Del Norte) and construction of a district wide 5-8 upper school for approx. $60 million.
* The purchase of the Quantum property as land only purchase for $12-$16 million.
* A policy option of sending all district wide 7th and 8th graders to the Earl Warren Middle School.
