Impartial Analysis from County Counsel
Measure H proposes to change the manner in which members of the Board of Trustees of the Capistrano Unified School District are elected. The Capistrano Unified School District is divided into seven geographical regions or "trustee areas." Currently, each governing board member must reside in the trustee area that he or she represents, but is elected "at large" by all voters living within the entire district.

The Measure proposes to change the current method of election to a "by trustee area" method of election. If adopted, the Measure would require that each member of the Board of Trustees reside within and be elected by the voters living within that particular trustee area. Only those voters residing within a trustee area would elect the trustee for that particular trustee area. Voters in a trustee area would not elect members of the Board of Trustees for other trustee areas.

A "Yes" vote would result in a change in the manner in which members of the Board of Trustees are elected to a "by trustee area" method of election. Only those voters residing within a trustee area would elect the trustee for that particular trustee area.

A "No" vote would not change the current method of electing members of the Board of Trustees. Each governing board member would continue to be elected "at large" by the voters of the entire school district.
