The Hart School District has released its Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report on Castaic High School. The report will be submitted to the Hart Governing Board for approval at the July 16 regular school board meeting. The meeting will be held in the Hart School District boardroom at 21380 Centre Pointe Pkwy. in Santa Clarita.

The projected opening of Castaic High School is August 2017, to ninth graders only, then adding a grade each year until grades 9-12 are on campus. Local voters overwhelmingly supported Measure SA, a $300 million bond measure in 2008, which in part will pay for acquisition and construction of the school site.
“We are committed to building a high-quality, comprehensive high school in Castaic to serve the community,” Rob Challinor, Superintendent said. “Population projections and home building plans for the Castaic and Val Verde areas show a need for a high school in the area in the future and building it now in anticipation of this growth is financially prudent, good for the area economy and will well serve families in the short term, as well.”

We need to stop this project to save the environment (says S.C.O.P.E. in a yet to be released diatribe).

Build the darn school and get it over with. These kids deserve a high school in Castaic, they have waited long enough.
I’m not holding my breathe…
Where do they want to build it?
They really need to complete Sloan cyn rd to hasley instead of just up to hillcrest …our house backs hillcrest and the traffic is already insane.
Our Valley is growing so fast. Castaic kids get bused all over for high school. Which over crowds SC high schools. They need their own high school already. Build it!
Sloan Cyn is filled with ranches and historic homes which are the last remaining remnants of the western heritage that the Santa Clarita Valley was built upon. Paving that wonderful dirt road and having it traversed by a thousand cars a day will destroy that area.
The very steep Hillcrest Parkway already has two schools on it and two school traffic zones. IMAGINE a thousand teenagers driving up and down that hill every day. How many will observe the 25 mph zones? How many children will be injured or killed in crosswalks? How many residents who enjoy their walks up and down the hill will dread walking there with a thousand teenagers racing up and down it? (I was a teenager; I know what I’m talking about.)
Access from Hasley/Sloan or Hillcrest/Sloan will be a man-created nightmare from which we can never return. It will destroy historic homes and ranches and seriously and permanently ruin the quiet lives we moved here to enjoy.
The school district doesn’t care. This is PROGRESS.
Shall we fight or just call it a day and be absorbed like the rest of overbuilt and overpopulated Los Angeles County?
Yet ANOTHER reason to get the heck out of L.A…
