A community protest is scheduled to take place on Tuesday night in front of Malibu Library, as a group of parents, teachers and other advocates speak out against the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s cleanup plan for Malibu High School.
The protest begins at 6 p.m. and is being led by local group Malibu Unites. The event will include appearances from “celebrity advocates,” according to an announcement.
Malibu Unites has been ramping up pressure on the school district for several months as officials deal with an environmental scare at Malibu High, Middle School and Juan Cabrillo Elementary. The group remains angry at the district for its handling of the known presence of PCBs, a human carcinogen, in building materials at the campuses.Â
The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station plans on sending deputies to the event, according to Lt. James Royal.
