Position Papers
VUSD needs a small high school now!
Your Vista school board plans to build a $100 million high school in Bonsall along a dangerous stretch of Highway 76. It will be the largest and most expensive high school in the district's history, and the district is attempting to build it at the very time when its high school enrollment is dropping rapidly. By August 2008, when the district plans to open this Taj Mahal, enrollment will have fallen to 6,700. The school will be empty and the taxpayers will be left to foot the bill.
