Malibu Exits District Separation Process with SMMUSD, Files Request with LACOE
Last week, the City of Malibu announced it would exit negotiations with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) despite reaching a new milestone just last month.

Santa Monica-Malibu School Improvement Bonds – Similar Needs, Different Votes
Two school facilities bonds – Measure QS and Measure MM, both for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD), are up for a vote this election. Since 2018, bond measures for the district have been separated into two school facilities improvement districts (SFID). Santa Monica is in SFID 1 and Malibu is in SFID 2. Measure QS is a bond measure for Santa Monica, Measure MM is for Malibu. In error, both measures were printed on ballots for both Santa Monica and Malibu residents. In a press release, SMMUSD clarified that “while voters may vote on both measures appearing on the ballot, the election for each measure will be determined by the voters in each area. Measure QS will be decided by the votes of Santa Monica voters. Measure MM will be decided by the votes of Malibu voters.”
