Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean C. Logan announced the mailing of Sample Ballot Books to all registered voters for the November 5, 
2024 General Election has started.

Sample Ballot Books are valuable resources that provide critical election information, instructions on voting options and deadlines, and local candidate statements and ballot measure 
information. The Sample Ballot Book also includes information and impartial analyses for countywide and local ballot measures.

The RR/CC will continue to mail Sample Ballot Books through October 26, 2024, and will begin distributing Vote by Mail ballots on October 3, 2024.

Due to distinct printing and production processes and legal timelines, some voter may receive their Vote by Mail ballots prior to receiving the Sample Ballot. Online access to voting 
materials will be available Sunday, October 6, 2024, to all voters at LAVOTE.GOV/ISB.

The RR/CC is proud to offer election materials translated into 18 different languages.

ARCADIA'S MEASURE A

What is the Measure AS Facilities Bond? The 
Arcadia Community Coordinating Council 
presents Arcadia Unified School District 
Superintendent, Dr. David Vannasdall who 
will present everything you need to know 
to Vote on Measure AS, the Arcadia Unified 
School District’s School Safety and Repair 
Measure coming to the Nov. 5th Ballot

On July 23, the Board of Trustees voted to place 
Measure AS – The Arcadia Unified School District 
School Safety and Repair Measure on the November 
5 ballot for voter consideration. If adopted by 
voters, Measure AS will allow AUSD to address 
the educational priorities the Arcadia community 
has identified, such as continuing to provide clean 
water, safe classrooms and school sites, preparing 
students for college and careers, and requiring all 
funds be spent on Arcadia schools.

 Many of Arcadia’s schools were built nearly 60 
years ago and have urgent repair needs. Measure AS will address the most urgent health and 
safety repairs needed in our neighborhood schools. The last couple of years have seen a record 
number of school shootings in the U.S. We need to keep our schools, students, and staff safe. 
In addition, we have other significant safety concerns, such as repairing aging roofs, plumbing, 
restrooms, and deteriorating gas and sewer lines; removing asbestos and lead paint; updating 
outdated electrical systems and security and fire systems; and making earthquake safety repairs 
and improvements.

Dr. David Vannasdall has been Superintendent of the Arcadia Unified School District 
since July of 2014. He has proudly served the Arcadia community for more than a decade. 
Dr. Vannasdall first came to Arcadia in 2005 when he was named the Principal of Arcadia 
High School. Succeeding his seven years at the helm of the Apaches, he was promoted to 
Deputy Superintendent, Education Programs and Services in 2012. Before joining AUSD, 
Dr. Vannasdall was a principal in Ohio, and also served as an Assistant Principal, School 
Counselor, and Teacher. 

Dr. Vannasdall is one of the foremost innovative Superintendents in the country, and has 
helped transform the Arcadia Unified School District into one of the most forward-thinking
and successful school districts in the United States. The graduation rate for Arcadia High School 
is typically 99% or higher, with students matriculating to the most prestigious universities each 
year, including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, and USC to name a few. In 2016, Arcadia 
High graduates were accepted into every Ivy League School in the country. 

Dr. Vannasdall was critical in helping pass a $216 million facilities improvement bond, and a 
$15 million parcel tax for AUSD. He led a successful 1:1 technology device rollout program for 
the district’s nearly 10,000 students who attend its eleven schools. Dr. Vannasdall also helped 
launch AUSD’s annual Arcadia Innovation Summit, which has become one of the leading 
professional development conferences for educators in California. 

After earning his Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Social Studies from the University of Kentucky, 
Dr. Vannasdall later earned two Master of Arts Degrees, one in School Counseling from Xavier 
University, and one in Education Administration from the University of Cincinnati. He earned 
his Educational Doctorate Degree in Educational Leadership from Azusa Pacific University in 
2016. 

A proud father of five, Christian, Chandler, Chloe, twins Max and Rosie, and the family 
dog Nittany, Dr. Vannasdall is married to Jessica who shares his passion for education as a 
Technology Coach and Teacher.
