Nice Pool, But No Money
Vista del Lago just unveiled the "crown jewel" of the school, a $3 million 14-lane pool. Unfortunately, they can't use it, because it costs too much to maintain. Students on the swim team are bussed over to the Folsom Aquatic Center.

Folsom High Bursting at Seams
When you have 3,000 students at your high school, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. Folsom High is feeling the brunt of an influx of new students, and the delay in Lago Vista High School's construction is not making things easier. Faced with budget cuts, students must face closed restrooms, lack of lockers, and lacking science equipment. Full storyLabels: Folsom High School, schools, Vista Del Lago

Lago Vista High Cleanup Scheduled
Folsom citizens concerned about the asbestos cleanup at the Lago Vista High School site are invited to attend a public review of the proposal. The school district plans on covering the soil with woven fabric, with a layer of clean fill dirt over it. Construction could start as early as this summer. Full details in the Bee.Labels: asbestos, Folsom High School, map, schools, Vista Del Lago

Asbestos? ... Who Cares?
...2 people, to be exact. After 1,700 fliers were sent out to Folsom residents regarding how Folsom-Cordova planned on cleaning up the naturally occurring asbestos at the Lago Vista High School work site, only 2 showed up to speak at the hearing. For the record, the school grounds will be covered with clean fill, and fabric, however it appears the public's concern for this is not very much.

Asbestos Concerns in the Hills
Recently discovered asbestos (the natural forming kind) while doing preliminary groundwork for Lago Vista High School has prompted builders and homeowners in the Southeast area of Folsom to take caution when digging in the dirt. The common rule of thumb is to water down the dirt so it doesn't kick up dust and re-cover the soil when you are done.

Plans for Folsom's new high school, Lago Vista High School, have been put on hold indefinitely, in light of the naturally occuring asbestos found at the construction site.

Asbestos at Lago Vista High School
Empire Ranch residents are a little alarmed at the discovery of naturally-occurring asbestos at the site of the new Lago Vista High School, scheduled to open in Fall 2006. Serpentine rock, a common creator of natural asbestos, was found on the land, and now a multi-million dollar cleanup effort is planned, possibly delaying the school to 2007.

Introducing... Lago Vista High School
Folsom residents will not have to wait any longer in anticipation of naming the new high school, as Lago Vista was chosen as the official school name for Folsom's second high school. Several names such as Empire High and Lake View High were considered, but Lago Vista was ultimately chosen. More details in the Folsom Telegraph.
