California Court of Appeal
Save Our Schools v. Barstow Unified School Dist. Bd. of Education, E060759
In a petition for a peremptory writ setting aside the School District's resolutions approving the closures and transfers and finding them exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the trial court's denial of the petition is reversed and remanded where the present administrative record contains insufficient evidence of the "original student capacity" (Guidelines section 15314), or total enrollment before the transfers, of any of the receptor schools, thus it was impossible for the District to determine, based on the record before it, that the closures and transfers would not increase the total student enrollment of any of the receptor schools beyond the levels allowed under the minor additions exemption.
