ENCINITAS: The public school district will offer a local charter school 11 classrooms at Oak Knoll Elementary School for the coming school year, according to a plan for the Theory Into Practice Charter School.

The Encinitas Union School District is scheduled to present its offer to the charter school at its board of trustees meeting Tuesday.

Under Proposition 39, public school districts are required to provide space for charter school students who live in the district’s geographic boundaries. The district has estimated that the charter school will enroll 215 students in the fall.

The school district is offering seven classrooms for students in kindergarten through third grade and three classrooms for students in fourth through sixth grade. An additional room is being offered for office space.

Students would share restrooms, playground space and other common areas at the Oak Knoll campus, 910 Melba Road.

The school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the district’s headquarters, 101 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road.

South Santa Fe Ave. closure is canceled

VISTA: This weekend’s scheduled closure of South Santa Fe Avenue between York and Woodland drives will not take place as scheduled.

The North County Transit District had planned to close the road, in unincorporated Vista west of Robelini Drive, while work crews installed a railroad crossing for the Sprinter passenger train.

The closure, which was planned for today and tomorrow, has been delayed indefinitely.

North Hills wants wires underground

DEL MAR: At its meeting Monday, the City Council will consider a request to form a special assessment district to put utility wires underground in the North Hills area.

Del Mar has set a goal of removing all overhead utility wires and poles. The city’s first special assessment district, the Ocean View-Pines neighborhood, finished the work last year.

Now the owners of 278 properties in North Hills east of Camino Del Mar have made a similar request, and have raised $34,000 toward the cost of an engineering study. The council will have to come up with $136,000 for the project to proceed.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Del Mar Communications Center, 240 10th St., behind City Hall.
