Trish Kelly, Saddleback Valley News “I believe our city should be concerned about giving the school district the ability to approve a district-wide EIR and one of our prime examples is Newhart Middle School.”

The Mission Viejo City Council unanimously gave authorization to Councilwoman Trish Kelley, who made the request, to send a letter to Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees urging them to rescind the approval of a blanket Environmental Impact Report that would cover every school in the district. Kelley said the EIR would allow the school district to maximize the use of portable classrooms at all school sites.
