San Diego, CA, August 25, 2026 —
More than 900 students from Del Sur Elementary School in San Diego are temporarily moving to Stone Ranch Elementary School. The relocation is a direct response to mold and poor air quality identified at the Del Sur Elementary campus.
The Poway Unified School District is overseeing the necessary cleaning and decontamination processes at Del Sur Elementary. Officials anticipate that the students will remain at Stone Ranch Elementary for a minimum of one month.
This development has brought renewed concerns from parents within the district. Some parents have previously voiced issues related to health problems they attribute to mold exposure within the school system. The current situation at Del Sur Elementary has amplified these existing worries.
The exact timeline for the completion of the cleaning and the students’ return to Del Sur Elementary has not been definitively stated beyond the initial expectation of at least one month. Further updates are expected from the Poway Unified School District as the decontamination efforts progress.
