Levee Plan Impacts School Sites
Excessive water and flood threats are posing challenges for three future school sites in south Manteca.
The San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency's decision to build a dry levee through the 16-acre Rustic School site has made it too small to construct an elementary school campus, rendering it useless.
- The Tara school site in southwest Manteca has high groundwater levels, reaching as shallow as 5 inches.
- The Tinin Road school site requires annexation to the city, but nearby residents are opposed, which would result in additional costs for the district to install a water well, address storm drainage, and implement a septic system.
