School Trustee Suggests that San Diego Beach Communities Break from District
Trustee John de Beck has made the suggestion that the beach communities of San Diego break away from the SDUSD- San Diego Unified School District and create their own district. A plan was unveiled which include schools on the Point Loma peninsula, the beach communities, Clairemont and adjacent communities which would create the San Diego Coastal Unified School District.
Mr. De Beck stated that he believed that new district would give both parents and community leaders additional control.

De Beck stated that because property taxes provide the funds for education, and that a separate district would operate more efficiently, his proposal would actually save taxpayer dollars.

The plan was presented on April 22 during neighbor budget forum for the Point Loma cluster Schools.

In order for the new district to be constructed, community organizers are required to collect signatures from ¼ of the registered voters throughout the proposed new district. Additionally, a series of public forums must be conducted prior to the idea being put to a formal vote. The proposed implementation date for this new district is 2014.
