School Loses Bid to Use Portable Classrooms
A Ventura religious school has lost its bid for a court order to lift city restrictions on its use of portable classroom buildings.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder came in response to a request for a temporary injunction from Ventura County Christian High School.
The school contended the city illegally had kept it from using the modular buildings it had placed on the campus of the old Washington School, which it leases from the Ventura school district.
As a result, enrollment has plunged by more than one-third, putting the school at risk of closure, school officials said.
Representatives of the school are in negotiations with the city, said Nicholas Miller, the school’s Los Angeles attorney.
