Oceanside Unified is closing an elementary school that the district says is literally on dangerous ground. The decision came at the end of an emotional meeting.
Despite public comments in support of keeping Reynolds Elementary School open, the Oceanside Unified School District board voted to close the school during a special board meeting Monday evening.Board member Eleanor Evans abstained and Trustee Nancy Licona voted against the closure.Over 200 people packed into the auditorium at Cesar Chavez Middle School ahead of the decision.
"As you can see and feel there is a lot of passion and heart in this room. And that is reflective of our community at Reynolds. There is so much heart and passion for our school and our scholars," said one parent during public comment. Another parent told the board,"We stand before you now knowing you are faced to make a choice and hold all the power over our kids, our amazing teachers and incredible staff that make Reynolds our second home."
The closure comes after engineers planning to renovate the school found soil liquefaction happening on the property. During an earthquake, the jolt of the movement could make the buildings sink.
