Ventura County Christian School is now in a legal battle against the district after being asked to shut down due to safety issues with the school's building.
According to a statement issued by the school's lawyers, the Ventura Unified School District attempted to close VCCS by claiming their lease was terminated due to structural issues in one building that "made the entire school unsafe for students and faculty."
The Law Offices of Bamieh and De Smeth, the law firm representing VCCS, claims the district didn't provide evidence or expert opinion that any building on the VCCS campus was unsafe. "We have attempted to understand their reasoning and initially assumed their motivation was financial or because they had other plans for the property," read one of the school's lawyers Ron Bamieh. "Unfortunately, VUSD's motivation appears more nefarious. Their attempts to bully the administrators of VCCS must now end. If not, we will ask the court to intervene.
"We value our long relationship with VCCS and the students and families it serves. At the same time, our District places the safety and well-being of every student above all else," he continued. "We cannot and will not compromise the safety of students, families, community members or staff members, whether they are in a building or property owned by the District, or leased by the District to another entity.
