4Sbuyer2002 is correct, and the PUSD School Board legally did the right thing last night by standing by their recently poorly communicated decision to adjust boundaries for Monterey Ridge, Oak Valley, and Del Norte to exclude non-Mello Roos adjacent communities of Bernardo Point (SFRs) and The Summit (condos). Legally, they had to. Morally and ethically, it was a poor decision.
Common sense says to let these handful of children attend the schools closest to them when the alternative is a dangerous commute through Camino Del Norte to Bernardo Height and RB High. Although the district superintendent assured those with kids in MRES, OVMS, and DNHS that they would get priority in regards to intradistrict transfers, there is no alternative for future generations of homeowners who choose to buy in Bernardo Point in the future.
The troubling thing about communities like 4S is a “we paid for it and we don’t want you to use it” attitude by the HOAs. Liberty Park, for instance, is now gated and a pass key is required to gain entrance. What kind of a community does that promote?
