KING CITY, Monterey County — October 26, 2026. The Monterey Bay Air Resources District’s October notices include a proposed Authority to Construct for King City High School and Portola-Butler Continuation High School. The notice was dated October 21 and published under California Health and Safety Code section 42301.6. The public-notice process gives residents an opportunity to review an application before agency action; the listing alone does not mean construction is finished or every environmental and building permit has been approved.

The public should consult the full air district document for the type of equipment, applicable emissions standards, comment procedures and exact end of the notice period. Schools and parents should not assume the filing announces construction of an entirely new campus; an Authority to Construct may pertain to specific permitted equipment. Questions should be directed to MBARD using its listed permit contact.
