3. David C. Copley Foundation Awards TERI Campus of Life $1 Million Grant โ€“ North County Daily Star (northcountydailystar.com) โ€” A major $1 million grant is helping TERI Campus of Life consolidate its special-needs education programs, including eventually moving students now taught in a leased Oceanside building to an expanded San Marcos campus.

4. State ownership limits Carlsbad's control over beach maintenance (thecoastnews.com) โ€” Carlsbad officials explain that only about one mile of beach, ending at the Oceanside border, is under city control, limiting what they can do about erosion, rock formations, and a shabby state-owned sign. For Oceanside-area beachgoers, it clarifies which stretches are managed by the city versus California State Parks and why some visible problems near the border haven't been fixed quickly.
