You may have heard of the oil spill in Orange County, causing roughly 126,000 gallons of oil to gush into the Catalina Channel, creating a slick that spanned about 8,320 acres.
This is an environmental catastrophe, killing fish and birds and threatening ecologically sensitive wetlands.
Assessment teams are checking our coastlines in San Diego County for any visible signs of oil.
Much clearer disposal information for wet wipes is coming to a shelf near you! After years of legislative work, Assembly Bill 818 has been signed into law by the Governor! This bill establishes the strongest “Do Not Flush” wipes labeling & public education requirements in the country. This is a huge win for consumers, infrastructure, for the environment, and for the wastewater sector!
Thank you to all those who worked so hard to get AB 818 passed and signed by the Governor!
Look for the symbol like the one below on wet wipe packages starting in July 2022⬇️
The District will be closed TODAY, Monday October 11, 2021 in recognition of Columbus Day.
In case of an emergency, please call (760) 753-0155.
Thanks to local resident Tom Caskey for this sunset shot🌅

Check out how science teacher, June Honsberger from Official La Costa Canyon High School used her teacher grant to fund her project, the Native Tree Garden and Outdoor Classroom 🌳
Biology and Chemistry students researched native trees and plants, discovering which native plants support the Western monarch butterfly population. Since their return to campus, students have planted trees and plants to create four butterfly gardens that they will continue to maintain throughout the school year.
