The Bonsall Unified School District (BUSD) board of trustees has voted to publish a request for proposals (RFP) for "lease-lease back" services for the Bonsall High School Capital Improvement program, in accordance with recently enacted AB2316. This would be a method that could potentially allow for the school district to fund the high school on its Gird Road site by leasing the land to a developer, who would build the campus and, in turn, lease it back to the district. A component of AB2316 provides for board adoption and...
State Route 76 now has two westbound lanes from Interstate 15 to Interstate 5. A switchover the night of Tuesday, March 7, brought westbound traffic from the northern portion of what will become the two eastbound lanes to the newly-completed westbound portion.

The new westbound lanes cover the area from Old Highway 395 to Via...
Fallbrook doesn't often make the evening news on San Diego television stations. In fact, some people complain that Fallbrook's high and low temperatures aren't displayed frequently enough on the weather maps during newscasts. Things have been different lately, however, as twice in a span of 29 days stations went "live" to Fallbrook to report on a pair of dangerous situations – a SWAT standoff at a Fallbrook apartment on Alturas Road, and a lockdown at Fallbrook High School after a student brought a gun on campus. Both i... Full story

Julie Reeder I had someone call last week who was offended that our paper was “going in a direction that offends me as a veteran.” It was because of the photo of the Fallbrook resident that was protesting President Donald Trump. It is crucial for readers to understand, just because we report on something that a person or a group is doing in town, doesn’t mean the newspaper supports that position. When we report someone was raped or murdered, it doesn’t mean we support rape and murder. If that murderer’s family is out on th...
