SDUSD and SD Community College District Race Results
Voters in La Jolla helped select three San Diego Unified School District school board members and a San Diego Community College trustee.
In the San Diego Unified School District, candidates John Lee Evans, Richard Barrera and Marne Foster clinched spots on the school board in Tuesday's election.
Incumbent Evans captured 52.99 percent of the vote against Mark Powell in District A. Barrera won in an uncontested race and Foster captured the most votes of any candidate in District E.
Evans said the district has come a long way in four years, despite the
worst budget crisis in a generation. During his term, the district spared 1,500 teachers from layoffs, cut millions in administration costs and saw
improvements in students' test scores, Evans said.
