Campaigners for Measure F begin calling voters

The campaign for Measure F -- the $282-million school renovation

bond that supporters have hopefully dubbed “Measure Future” -- kicked

off Tuesday evening in a slim office space on Newport Boulevard. Only

six people came to call registered voters, but campaign chairman Mark

Buchanan said he expects the office to fill in coming weeks.

College Park Elementary School Principal Pat Insley and Andersen

Elementary School Principal Mary Manos were among the group Tuesday.

By the end of the evening, all the callers had circled a few names on

the voter lists and marked them as supporters.

The Newport-Mesa Unified School District issued official lists of

proposed projects for each school under Measure F. Among the

renovations are a football stadium at Estancia High School, a

gymnasium at TeWinkle Middle School and a replacement for the closed

Robins Hall at Newport Harbor High School.
