“I would. We need some more schools. We also need to repair some of

the schools we have. My son has nine second-grade classes in his school.

These children are our future.” MICHELLE RIEKE

Costa Mesa

“I would. Our class sizes are way too large. But I don’t know where

they could build any more schools. We are at the point this fall where we

are thinking about sending our son to a private school. The kids just get

lost in the classes. And the teachers have no aides. It’s all on their

shoulders.” MERRILLYN DAVEY

Newport Beach

“I definitely would vote for one and I have no children or

grandchildren in the school district. I just think good schools are

crucial to the community. They affect property values. I just believe in

the children.” JEAN WENKE

Newport Beach

“I would definitely vote for it because the future of our country

depends on educated people. Educated people make better citizens. And I

have no children or grandchildren in the school district.”

“I probably wouldn’t vote for a school bond measure because I don’t

want to pay any more taxes and I don’t have any children.” DELWYN TRENT

Costa Mesa

“It’s something that you don’t want to have to do. It seems like there

are other ways this could be accomplished. But if there are no other

alternatives, then we have to just believe our leaders. Hopefully, we’ve

elected the right ones to do the job.” RICK DODGE
