California Seeks to Close Loophole Allowing Schools to Be Built Near Toxic Sites Bigad Shaban, Robert Campos, Sean Myers, Mark Villarreal and Jeremy Carroll © Provided by NBC Bay Area The Stratford School in Fremont opened in August 2018, right next door to the Tri City Rock concrete plant, which has remained at that location since 1987. A new bill, that could drastically limit where future schools can be built throughout the state, cleared a major hurdle in the California legislature on Thursday and is now headed for a full vote in the Assembly in the coming weeks.  The legislation would force private and charter schools to comply with tougher environmental standards – the very same regulations that are already in place for public schools – in hopes of preventing classrooms from being constructed near potentially toxic sites.
