SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif.—Following the resignation of Trustee Pamela Braunstein earlier this month, the Capistrano Unified School District voted to hold a special election in November to fill the Area 2 trustee vacant seat rather than through appointment.
“It is my recommendation for this board to call an election,” Kirsten Vital Brulte, Capistrano Unified School District superintendent, said during the meeting. “We think it’s important ... to focus on teaching, learning, and the well-being of students.”
