Another stinging defeat for Grossmont. Court orders $42M to be set aside for Alpine High School.
By Sal Casamassima, Chair – Alpine High School Citizens Committee
February 17, 2015 (San Diego’s East County) - On January 22 Judge Joel Pressman of the California Superior Court, delivered a huge victory to the supporters of a high school in Alpine. Judge Pressman issued a preliminary injunction that requires the Grossmont Union School District (GUHSD) to set aside $42 Million of Prop U bond money that would be used toward the construction of the long-overdue Alpine High School. GUHSD must set aside $14 Million immediately and another $28 Million on January 15, 2016. Although the $42M is less than the $70M needed to build a school on the Lazy A site it nevertheless represents a major victory for Alpine. This article will discuss why the court issued this injunction and its importance in preserving our ability to fund construction of the high school.
