GUHSD selected ENGIE Impact to perform two essential tasks, the first being to develop a detailed roadmap for the electrification of the GUHSD bus fleet and the second being to identify and support the school district with the application for grants that would help the school district cover the cost of fleet electrification.

Key Points: 
  • GUHSD selected ENGIE Impact to perform two essential tasks, the first being to develop a detailed roadmap for the electrification of the GUHSD bus fleet and the second being to identify and support the school district with the application for grants that would help the school district cover the cost of fleet electrification.
  • In addition to fleet electrification, ENGIE Impact helped GUHSD secure funding by identifying and developing responses to federal and state grant solicitations that support fleet electrification efforts.
  • Based on an initial ENGIE Impact analysis, the electrification of GUHSDs school bus fleet will reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 86%.
  • GUHSD consists of 13 high school campuses: Grossmont High School (La Mesa/El Cajon), Helix High School (La Mesa), El Cajon Valley High School (El Cajon), Mount Miguel High School (Spring Valley), El Capitan High School (Lakeside), Granite Hills High School (El Cajon), Monte Vista High School (Spring Valley), Santana High School (Santee), Chaparral High School (El Cajon), Valhalla High School (El Cajon), West Hills High School (Santee), Steele Canyon High School (Spring Valley), and IDEA Center High School (El Cajon).

    In 2019, a San Diego Superior Court ruled that three Learn4Life high schools located within the boundaries of Grossmont Unified School District (GUSD) and two schools operating within the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) must close because of a discrepancy over geographical boundaries.
  • Learn4Life schools have been operating in compliance with the California Charter Schools Act and providing a quality education for hundreds of students.
  • This lawsuit by GUHSD and SDUSD did not put students first, said Lindsay Reese, San Diego area superintendent of Learn4Life schools.
  • The local districts couldnt serve this population of Iraqis who fled to San Diego County to avoid religious persecution.
