Board Requests State Department To Conduct Survey Of NSDC JC Area The Palomar College Boa rd of Governors met with the San D ieguito Union High School D istrict trustees recently to discuss the possible merger of the S a n D ieguito district joining the P alomar Junior C ollege D istrict. The Palomar board agreed to request the State Department of Education to conduct a survey of the entire north county area regarding a junior college program. At the exploratory meeting, the San Dieguito Board announ ced that they were also considering the possibility of their joining a jt:nior college district along the coast. Dr. John Dunn, Palomar College President, pointed out to San Die. guito t1·ustees that property owners in their district presently are paying 25 cents for each $100 of assessed valuation as a distri ct tuition tax, which is paid by all areas with students attending a junior college. The San Dieguito junior college district would not be asked to pay taxes toward this district's bonded indebtedness if they joined, but woulrl have to pay only the 35 rent tax rate. The present district's assessed valuation is about 90 million dollars. If the San Dieguito district joins Palomar's, the new district will have an as sessed valuation of about 150 million dollars.
