County approves Agoura school plan

More than a decade after Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School West sought to build a 750-student school near Agoura Hills, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the project.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.
The school, which currently operates out of a leased space at 27400 Canwood St., chose a 73-acre site northeast of Palo Comado Canyon Road and east of Chesebro Road for the new school to accommodate a growing demand for a Jewish school.
The school currently has about 210 students and 36 staffers. Under the conditional use permit, the school must comply with numerous requirements to ensure that the project preserves the scenic beauty of the area. It has to include 45 acres of open space, ample parking, traffic and noise reduction efforts and limit the risk of wildfire danger.
