Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17th, 2025. We start today with breaking news out of La Mesa, where a teacher at Learning Choice Academy has been accused of a serious crime involving a student. Police are investigating, and parents in the East County community are voicing concerns as the case unfolds. Elsewhere, the city is dealing with budget tensions. San Diego Public Library officials warn that budget cuts in the 2026 proposal could mean closure of libraries on Sundays and Mondays, sparking debate across our neighborhoods about access to resources, especially for families who rely on weekend programs.
Turning to today’s weather, we’re waking up to cool air and patches of light rain thanks to a passing spring system. Expect showers through the morning, clearing by late afternoon, with highs in the upper 60s along the coast and a breezy ocean air. So if you’re headed to Balboa Park or thinking about taking the kids to the Avocado Festival this weekend, pack a light jacket just in case, but the outlook is brighter tomorrow.
The local job scene has real momentum, especially in tech and cybersecurity. San Diego’s tech sector now offers over 76,000 jobs and is expanding at a rapid pace. Cybersecurity roles are especially hot, with salaries averaging in the one hundred thousand dollar range, and a thirty percent growth rate driving demand. Life sciences and biotech remain vibrant too, promising more opportunity this year.
Some real estate news: buyers are still facing tight inventory, but new multi-family units in East Village are helping ease pressure, and the median home price for the county is hovering close to nine hundred thousand. That’s holding steady after last month’s bump.
The Padres are on a roll after taking the series from the Cubs at Petco Park, with stars like Tatis and Machado powering the offense. Tonight, UC San Diego baseball heads to Riverside for a big three-game matchup, while local high school teams celebrate impressive spring track and field results—a special congratulations to the San Diego High girls’ relay team, who broke their own school record last night.
In business, several new eateries are opening around North Park and Little Italy, and a beloved Ocean Beach bookstore has announced its closure after twenty years, citing rising rents. For community events, Disney on Ice opens tonight at Pechanga Arena, and South Bay’s Earth Day celebration is drawing crowds all weekend.
Our crime report includes a fatal motorcycle collision overnight in Chula Vista at East Orange and Max Avenue—police are reminding all drivers to use extra caution during these damp mornings. No public safety alerts have been issued, but authorities are on heightened patrol after a series of break-ins along El Cajon Boulevard.
For today’s feel-good story, NASA is wrapping up astronaut training off the coast for the next phase of the Artemis moon mission, bringing a boost of space excitement to the waterfront.
