In place of lead with honesty, believe and consistency, they lead with powerful hands of guidelines and guidelines missing sensitiveness and compassion.
When children exactly who gets mental services from GUSD is cited to be “blown aside’ from the shuffling of psychologists among schools, GUSD’s condescending top-down strategy again communicates to your teachers, parents and students that the area knows better than the city they offer.
Superintendent Donna Lewis doesn’t manage the mental health questions of moms and dads in the post; she waxes heavy on plan revealing small concern for the families and people the district’s choice has an effect on.
As soon as Lewis takes no obligations for all the transfer of psychologists, saying she didn’t come with involvement, it’s a clear try to inoculate herself from the injuries, and evidence of the girl shortcomings as a frontrunner.
Let’s hope inbound Superintendent Diana Roybal is aware of GUSD’s broken depend on together with the society they serves.

Concerning Ron Fink’s might 11 commentary about Assembly costs 377, “Watch Out, county installation desires Help Us,” he supplied absolutely no details about what’s during the rules. The guy only mentioned the reason why the guy thinks it is worst.
Not very useful. A synopsis would-have-been good.
Myra Nicholas Santa Barbara
Concerning Aaron Kopperman’s might 7 letter about Santa Barbara’s local rental houses complications, the key to making a lasting availability of affordable construction try effectively threefold:
» houses must certanly be conducted rather than refinanced for 30 years (no purchase or cash-out) with reserves for repairs effectively financed annually and all sorts of mortgage covenants fulfilled by an administration broker and enforced from the lender.
» Taxes and costs must stay stabilized.
» every leasing tenant has to take equivalent pride of control in their residence just like the proprietor for an effective lasting commitment built on believe.
I am aware Santa Barbara landlords, of varying sizes, with perhaps not enhanced rents in 2 decades simply because they like their tenants. The price and headache to restore a good renter isn’t really worth the extra earnings. Concurrently, bond-financed housing with safety mortgage covenants turns out to be increasingly affordable eventually.
The metropolis Council might think about an incentive, a signing extra or an end-of-year discount giving neighborhood utilized customers, experts and seniors priority tenancy consideration over youngsters and beginners.
Militancy, anxiety about most illegal authorities intervention and overreach scares away close folks from leasing their own attributes. Additionally, it inspires people to go out-of Santa Barbara despite its beauty and good environment.
One-day there is a meeting of this heads, but we doubt it in one-party Santa Barbara, where all the elected frontrunners must be litmus examined. The objective in your area was a government takeover of exclusive home, people and physical lives. No pushback are permitted.
I am hoping Kopperman operates for a City Council chair. He’d fit right in.
