I am a resident and taxpayer in Fallbrook. Vote no on Bonsall and Fallbrook Measures DD & AA. They add new taxes to every parcel of property that will last for decades. They're designed for contractor profits instead of pupils. Fallbrook and Bonsall refused to include language in these measures to guarantee that students and taxpayers are getting the most for their bond money. Instead Bonsall and Fallbrook can hand no-bid contracts to favored companies. The campaign to pass Measures DD & AA is funded by Erickson Hall...
The process to build Bonsall High School started 10 years ago when parents asked, “Why must the great education that students receive in our district stop at 8th grade?” Signatures were gathered, the petition was found sufficient, public hearings were held recommending approval and it was sent to ballot.

When our family moved to Sycamore Ranch in 1998, we were advised that a property on Gird Road was zoned to be a high school. Eve...
I’ve been attending Bonsall High School ever since it first opened in 2014. We started out with a few buildings on the Sullivan Middle School campus, and only 65 freshmen. Our first project was to decide the school’s mascot, colors, logo, and motto. We worked on multiple ideas, and the community voted for favorites. When our principal announced the results (Legionnaire, Royal Blue, Silver & White, “Power, Intellect, Innovation”), we felt like BHS became an official school. BHS has given me an experience that I would not lik...
