• 2026 School Bond Transparency Report Card (sandiegounified.org) — Vista residents can see how Vista Unified scored an A+ for transparency in managing school bond funds, according to a new countywide report. The study compares 24 districts on how clearly they disclose bond spending, audits, and oversight committee work, and encourages local taxpayers to consider serving on these watchdog panels to keep long-term school construction debt accountable.
