The comprehensive elementary/middle school campus, the first of its kind in San Marcos Unified, was designed to serve between 700 and 1,000 students and help ease overcrowding at several district schools. “I concur that these off-site road improvements are vital to ensuring the safety of our students and community and must be completed before the school opening,” he said.
Holt estimated that the road improvements would not be completed until the end of May 2016. “Our attempt at good faith bargaining with the property owner, in conjunction with the legal proceedings of condemning the property, has delayed the contractor’s ability to begin the road improvements which are required by the city,” wrote Holt in his letter. Holt and other district officials were not immediately available for comment on the land deal.
