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.”

Instead of a suit and tie, the man was wearing sunglasses, a t-shirt, and slacks, like he had just come from a hard day’s work. Lachman paused his meeting to take the time to talk with this man.
