DD for such a time as this…

Among California’s lowest funding per student, Bonsall schools have to be fiscally conservative to perform among the highest. Since 2008, operations such as after school day care, nutrition services, and transportation were restructured to move them from red into the black. These moves, the solar projects, and refinancing debt bring hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings annually toward increasing student learning.

Why does Bonsall need DD? Our community voted for district unification in 2012, requiring grades 9-12. Now, the high school classes get larger each year; with the widening of Highway 76, Bonsall Unified is projected to double enrollment in the next five years; we need room at Sullivan Middle School; the high school must move even if no new developments are approved. Without DD we will have to house our students in portable classrooms on the Gird Road site.

This is the perfect opportunity and timing for building a great high school; low interest rates, a possible matching state bond, the current Fallbrook bond ends in 2020; and with all our growth, a new tech high school offering business internships and concurrent college enrolment will attract a demographic profile of higher income, higher education levels, better parenting skills and less crime. All of which leads to higher property values. We can’t miss this opportunity!

A wonderful Bonsall High School or portables; it’s the voters’ choice for a fantastic opportunity at just such a time as this…
