This resolution formalizes opposition of the Vista Del Mar Union School District Board of Education to the passage of State Ballot Proposition 5 on the November 6 General Election ballot. This initiative will have a negative fiscal effect on funding for education. In particular, community-funded school districts like Vista Del Mar Union stand to lose significant levels of funding if this initiative is approved by voters. |
