Our Mission
Save the Field is a coalition of concerned community members – parents, neighbors, and friends – who have established a public benefit nonprofit to act as watchdogs to ensure that the Del Mar School District
-
does not eliminate 50% of Del Mar Heights Schools outdoor play fields in the rebuild,
-
does not unlawfully avoid important environmental review of the proposed rebuild,
-
does not get away with creating wildfire risks and impediments to safe evacuation that imperil our children and community,
-
complies with state mandates for transparency in all its dealings, and
-
listens to the community.
Our mission is to preserve and protect the field and open spaces at the Del Mar Heights School and to safeguard our children and community against a rebuild that jeopardizes our safety and well-being.
The Problem and Risks
The Del Mar Unified School District is trying to push through a development plan that will
-
eliminate the field and open space at Del Mar Heights School by building on top of them,
-
increase fire risks to the community, without complying with legally required environmental review,
-
decrease emergency access to nearby homes and the canyon, according to experts, and
-
significantly increase traffic without studying impacts to the community.
