The Mission Viejo City Council unanimously gave authorization to Councilwoman Trish Kelley, who made the request, to send a letter to Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees urging them to rescind the approval of a blanket Environmental Impact Report that would cover every school in the district. Kelley said the EIR would allow the school district to maximize the use of portable classrooms at all school sites.

Several years later during the CUSD Recall Campaign, CUSD defended their overuse of portables by denying the actual numbers and percentages of portables at CUSD schools and lying to the public about minimum percentages of portables "required" by the state. The Key Message Points flyer was prepared by CUSD to advocate support for Measure A, a $65 million school bond later approved by voters in 2000.
