Middle school teachers gear up for the upcoming school year as they engage in team building exercises on Monday at Valley Center Middle School. As they prepare, they also have concerns about overcrowding within Valley Center schools. According to Valley Center School District Superintendent Greg Lehr, passing the $73.9 million bond issue will allow the district to make necessary changes. “Part of that will be a new elementary school so we’ll have four elementary schools in the district. We’ll add twenty classrooms up at the high school and then we have a bunch of little additions to our middle school,” said Lehr. Lehr said an April 2022 study revealed they would have about 3100 students by 2027. They exceeded that with 3200 students at the end of the 2022-23 school year.
