Lisa Montes was one of two plaintiffs who sued the San Dieguito Union High School District last year over its redistricting map. Last month, the board approved a settlement in the case.during a closed-session meeting last month. The agreement grants $40,000 to the two plaintiffs, according to a copy obtained via a public record request. Board members Michael Allman, who had pushed heavily for the redistricting map, and Phan Anderson voted against approving it.
Chang and Montes alleged that the redistricting constituted political gerrymandering and disenfranchised thousands of voters who would have lost their chance to vote in last year’s elections because of the new boundaries. The county superintendent, however, had warned San Dieguito that the new map might violate state law, saying that redistricting is not meant to overhaul voting boundaries. The county board of education ended upEven so, the plaintiffs continued with their lawsuit. But a superior court judge ruled last October that the bulk of the case was moot because the district had adopted the county’s new map, and he dismissed two of its causes of action.
In an email, Allman said: “Paying off the plaintiff’s attorney for a case the judge has already dismissed is a waste of taxpayer resources. That money belongs to the students of San Dieguito.”City of Del Mar, Winston School announce deal to reinstate school’s lease, ending two-year legal battle
