The District 8 affair is a little more complicated than what may be portrayed outside the community. There are D8 voters that voted against this bond measure because they think it makes more sense for 8 to help fund expansion of the D1 high school instead of building a brand new one (+all associated admin, entire new school of teachers, etc...). There are definitely people who would prefer redrawing of district lines or some kind of combination of district 1 and 8. The school building situation here is a mess... and not easily summed up in a single post. I just didn't want people to draw conclusions on an inconclusive situation.
