Board members of the Bonita Unified School District are signaling the district may be heading toward a future school facilities bond, though no formal decision has been made. At the Jan. 7 school board meeting, trustees discussed the district's ongoing facilities master planning and invited residents to take part in the process as the district considers whether to pursue a bond measure. Board member Jim Elliott noted that the district is approaching a decision about whether to move forward with a bond. "I think we're heading in that direction," Elliot said. However, no formal proposal has been made.
