Citizens in Charge

A Capistrano Unified ballot initiative that seeks to change how trustees are elected will be postponed by five months, from June to November, after the education officials who set the June 8 date agreed tonight to reverse their previous decision. The Orange County Committee on School District Organization, an 11-member governing body housed at the county Department of Education, cited the cost of holding the election in June – up to $496,000 – as their primary reason for the switch.
