CUSD Candidates to Face Off in Debate

You are cordially invited to a debate for the candidates vying for four seats on the Capistrano Unified School District school board.

Patch is sponsoring the debate, which will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25 at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center, 25925 Camino Del Avion in San Juan Capistrano.

Although the candidates are running for individual geographic territories known as trustee areas, the debate will cover all four races. The voters impacted are:

• Trustee Area No. 1: Dana Point, Capistrano Beach and parts of San Juan Capistrano
• Trustee Area No. 2: Ladera Ranch, Coto de Caza and parts of San Juan Capistrano
• Trustee Area No. 3: San Clemente
• Trustee Area No. 5: Aliso Viejo

This will be an authentic debate, not just a candidate’s forum. The candidates will not know the questions in advance. Candidates may have up to two minutes to answer the questions, and others may have a one-minute rebuttal.

Patch Local Editor Penny Arévalo will moderate the debate.
