What is this group, the La Jolla Taliban? La Jolla has been trying to split from SDUSD for years. They're upset that their property taxes are shared amongst all schools, including the lower performing ones. This is just another attempt by the elitists in La Jolla to separate themselves from the rest of San Diego.

Ask if other area's are forming clusters with the kind of support that La Jolla will have the answer will be no...
