Classrooms v. Swimming Pools: Misplaced PrioritiesBy Bob NoelCandidate for Board Member; Santa Barbara High School District |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Luxury swimming pools at two high schools are costing the District over $8.3 million. $6 million of that came from funds, which should have been used for new permanent classrooms, for refurbishment and for modernization.New classrooms were promised to voters when they entrusted the High School District with $67,000,000 in Measure V bond funds. Yet, not one new high school classroom has been built. Today, nearly 30 teachers are without classrooms at our three high schools. Similarly, $2 million worth of window replacements and repairs were originally slated for SB High School. That project was cancelled, while a $2.8 million swimming pool was built, along with a $600,000 faculty parking lot. There is a crying need to reform the system of special interest politics that encourages these kinds of distortions of priorities. |
