Teachers from San Marcos High School called into the Santa Barbara Unified board meeting Tuesday to issue concerns about a proposed grading policy.

SB Unified discusses changes to grading policy Administrators seek extra opportunity for students By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara Unified School District’s board met Tuesday evening for a special meeting planned as a COVID-19 update. But a proposed grading policy prompted the most discussion. Although the details are yet to be drafted, the proposed plan is to issue students “incomplete” and “no credit” marks on their report cards instead of tarnishing their transcript with a D or F. Students will get extra time to learn and bring their grade to a C level. In elementary schools, teachers would be encouraged to contact

parents and work with the students to cater a learning plan to them. While the plan would be implemented next semester for primary students, secondary students would see the plan by the end of the month. Teachers chimed in to express concern for implementing a new grading policy just days before the semester ends. “One big question that has been asked is ‘Why now?’ ‘Why the urgency this moment?’ First and foremost, you do the best you can until you know better. Now, we know better,” said Ana Escobedo, assistant superintendent of elementary education.

“Now our data has told us that we need to do better by our students,” she added. “And so having said that, we have been presented with the opportunity through COVID to launch into the 21st century something I believe we will thank COVID for one day.” Administrators were concerned about the disproportionately high number of low marks in Latinx students, students with disabilities, socio-economically disadvantaged students, and Emergent Multilingual Learners. Ms. Escobedo also noted that the elementary school report cards are not formatted to show the progression of English

learners. While public comments affirmed the intentions of administrators, they questioned the practicality of the plan. “It’s missing that piece where we need to look at what is behind a child who is getting a D or an F and what are we going to do about it besides just giving them more time,” Caroline Harrah said. “What if any interventions will be offered to students to assist them in completing work and learning the material that they missed?” Comments alluded that teachers wrote to board members Please see grades on A8

Healthcare workers prep for surge By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Just 10.7% of Santa Barbara County Intensive Care Unit beds are available, according to the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department’s COVID-19 dashboard. The adjusted percentage, which considers the portion of ICU patients with COVID19, is 0%. This means that the intensive care units in the county do not have room for any more COVID-19 patients without sacrificing their ability to take on other emergencies. An earlier version of the News-Press noted that patients were transferring from areas with 0% ICU capacity to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. While this is true, it should be added that the hospital routinely accepts transfers from patients in other counties. Now, there are less transfers than usual. Cottage Health has even created a review board to look at every request for transfer. “The transfers from outside areas have been severely restricted, so each individual request for transfer is being reviewed by a high level group within the hospital and taken in a very limited fashion,” said Dr.

David Fisk, medical director for Cottage Health’s infection control program and infectious disease physician at Sansum Clinic, to the News-Press Monday. “We are working hard to make sure we can care for the direct community members,” he said. He said there is potential for the state to mandate transfers to areas with capacity, but that is speculation at the moment. The regional approach taken by the state could suggest the possibility. “The point of a regional approach is to make sure that we take care of as many Californians with those regional assets as possible,” California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in an update Dec. 29. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Wednesday COVID-19 update was canceled “out of an abundance of caution to the Governor’s Office staff due to the events transpiring at the U.S. Capitol,” read a tweet from his office.

The Santa Barbara Police Department had not identified any suspect or suspects as of Wednesday afternoon in connection with Sunday’s double homicide, which had ties to criminal street gang activity, police said. The shooting occurred at approximately 5:40 p.m. Sunday in the 1200 block of Liberty Street on the city’s Eastside. Two people were fatally wounded, one identified as 18-year-old Omar Montiel-Hernandez and the other a minor whose identity was withheld, according to authorities. Two others were injured and transported to a local hospital after suffering nonlife threatening injuries, said Anthony Wagner, police spokesman. Mr. Wagner indicated on Wednesday that there were no updates on the investigation and that no warrants had been served. The shooting had “ties with or ties to a criminal street gang or gangs,” Mr. Wagner added. A GoFundMe campaign was launched earlier this week by Amy “Drea” Martinez, a Goleta resident and community organizer, seeking assistance for the funeral expenses of 17year-old Angel Castillo, whom the organizer identified as the second deceased victim. “When dealing with such unexpected and senseless loss, the last thing a mother — family members — want to think about

is how to pay for a funeral,” Ms. Martinez wrote. “The cost of funeral services increases each year, and many families struggle to pay for a service to honor the life of their loved one. “Given that we are still amidst a global pandemic that has exacerbated the financial stability of thousands across the country, finding assistance that covers the entire cost of funeral expenses has added a new layer of challenge, especially for Angel’s family. Thus, I am reaching out to all friends, family, extended family, and community for financial support in helping me fundraise on behalf of the Castillo family. “All proceeds will go towards covering Angel’s funeral expenses.” As of Wednesday afternoon, the campaign had raised more than $8,000 courtesy of 140 donors. Moms Demand Action, a volunteer group that is part of Everytown for Gun Safety, issued a response to the fatal shooting on Wednesday, while also making mention of a Monday shooting that left no one injured. “It is unacceptable that we have lost two of our teens to senseless gun violence,” Kendall Pata, local group co-leader of the Santa Barbara chapter of Moms Demand Action, said in a statement. “Our hearts are with the families of Angel, Omar, and the other survivors of the shooting. It’s time to prioritize funding for violence intervention

Protestors storm Capitol, woman killed By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Pro-Trump protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, the day that Congress met to certify the Electoral College results. A woman inside the Capitol was shot and taken to a hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The Washington, D.C., National Guard was mobilized to support local law enforcement, and by late afternoon, 13 people had been arrested. Parts of the Capitol building were placed on lockdown, and the congressional tally was paused. A curfew was enacted at 6 p.m. Eastern time. By late afternoon, peace was restored after Republicans and Democrats alike called for protesters to leave the building and let Democracy run its course. “I know your pain, I know your

hurt,� said President Donald Trump, who repeated his allegations about election fraud during a minute-long video on Twitter. “But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order.� The tweet came at 4:17 p.m. Eastern time, several hours after protesters broke a barrier and entered the Capitol. Joe Biden described the rioting as “insurrection� and “chaos.� “I call on this mob to pull back now and allow the work of democracy to go forward,� Mr. Biden said. The protesters entered the building shortly after the House and Senate started debates in their chambers over Republicans’ objections to the results showing that Mr. Biden won the election with 306 Electoral College votes. According to those results,

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER “Arrests like this are possible due to the hard work and dedication of your police officers,� Lt. Jesse Silva, police spokesman, said in a statement. “Today, this neighborhood is a safer place, with another gun, and drugs off the streets.� Anyone with information about violent crimes, or knowledge that someone is unlawfully carrying a firearm, is asked to call police.

Man arrested on gun, firearm charges SANTA MARIA — A man was arrested following a foot chase last week in Santa Maria, police said. Around 9 p.m. on Dec. 31, officers from the Santa Maria Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team attempted to detain a suspicious person in the 200 block of South Depot Street. The suspect, later identified as Pedro Pasqual, ran from officers and allegedly threw a firearm over a nearby fence, according to a department news release. Officers caught up to Mr. Pasqual and took him into custody. A search revealed that he was in possession of live ammunition and approximately 30 grams of suspected methamphetamine, police said. Mr. Pasqual was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, felon in possession of a firearm, violation of parole and obstructing or resisting an officer. Police remain committed to reducing gun violence throughout the city. Uniformed patrols have been increased and investigators have doubled their efforts to ensure safety.

Two injured in altercation SANTA BARBARA — Two people were injured in an altercation Wednesday near the intersection of Sola and San Pascual streets in Santa Barbara, police said. The incident was reported around 3:08 p.m. on the Westside. Initial reports indicated a stabbing victim who suffered from a stab wound to their right leg was located in the first block of West Sola Street. A second victim was located in the 1300 block of San Pascual Street, according to scanner traffic. The two victims, described as transients, were reportedly involved in an argument before the incident. Police were on scene interviewing witnesses and reportedly had obtained surveillance video of the incident. A knife that was possibly used in the altercation was also collected for evidence. Police spokesman Anthony Wagner told the News-Press that the incident “turned out to be not as serious as first reported.� Two people were hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries. An investigation is ongoing and no arrests were made. — Mitchell White

President Trump has 232 votes. Vice President Mike Pence, who oversaw the joint session of Congress for the certification and is president of the Senate, and senators and representatives were evacuated. Mr. Pence urged the protesters to leave the building. “The violence and destruction taking place at the US Capitol Must Stop and it Must Stop Now,� Vice President Pence tweeted. “Anyone involved must respect Law Enforcement officers and immediately leave the building.� He said Americans have the right to protest peacefully, but “this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.� U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, posted in a Tweet that he was safe, sheltering in place and following Capitol

Police guidance. “Let me be clear: this will not deter Congress from certifying the election. We will uphold democracy,â€? Rep. Carbajal tweeted. The sentiment was echoed in a tweet by state Sen. Monique LimĂłn, D-Santa Barbara. “What is happening in our nation’s Capitol is not a representation of the democracy we aim to be. These actions are unlawful and continue to divide our Nation, rather than bring us together to combat the threats we face with this pandemic.â€? Earlier at a rally near the White House, President Trump had encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol to make their voices heard about the Electoral College results.

C.A.R.E.4Paws meets growing demand Nonprofit doing more work than ever during pandemic

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

C. King red radish These are some of the largest radishes I have ever encountered. While the ones I purchased were about a quarter pound each, this variety can exceed 1 pound. Sweet, crisp and moist, this flavorful variety is nice in both cooked and raw preparations. Add king red radishes to soups and stews, rice or noodle dishes, as well as an array of salads, wraps and spring roll preparations. This week I prepared a radish cabbage salad, the Fix of the Week on A4. Grown and sold by the Her Family Farm, these radishes are currently available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ markets. Price averages $2 per pound.

A.R.E.4Paws distributed two tons of free pet food in all of 2019 to people in need. Since March, that amount skyrocketed to somewhere between 150 and 170 tons. That’s unprecedented for the nonprofit, which is doing more work than ever to help low-income pet owners and seniors hit hard by the pandemic and an economy that took a nosedive. “In a normal year, we usually help more than 5,000 families,” Isabelle Gullo, C.A.R.E.4Paws executive director and co-founder, told the News-Press this week. “Because of the pandemic, those numbers are blown out of the water. “This year, it’s thousands more,” Ms. Gullo said. “The number has tripled.” Other numbers tell the story as well. The nonprofit, which offers medical services throughout Santa Barbara County in its mobile clinic, saw its free spay and neuter surgeries grow from 1,300 in 2019 to 2,000 last year, Ms. Gullo said. And the number of pets receiving general medical care increased from 1,170 in 2019 to more than 1,800 last year, she said. In addition to the free spay and neuter surgeries, C.A.R.E.4Paws offers low-cost services varying from vaccines to dental cleanings and treatments for skin conditions and ear and eye infections. “We’ve added mobile clinic days, from 140 clinic days in 2019 to 190 in 2020,” Ms. Gullo said. “That’s a big jump. We’ve kept adding Please see care4paws on A4

Chocolate toffee pistachios For those with a little sweet tooth and who have an affinity for that wonderful combination of chocolate and nuts, you may want to add chocolate toffee pistachio to your shopping list. It’s available in both dark and milk chocolate options. And the presence of pistachio pieces and toffee is noticeable throughout, making for a real afternoon treat. Produced by the Santa Barbara Pistachio Co. from its certified organic Santa Barbara County grown pistachio harvest, this product can currently be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara and Tuesday Santa Barbara farmers’ markets. Price is $13 per 8-ounce bag.

Bacon avocados As the most highly sought Hass avocados become incredibly hard to find through the winter, this seasonal alternative starts to take shape. They’re currently available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets from several local producers. They are slightly milder in flavor than the Hass but still great for that avocado toast, guacamole or any of your avocado needs. Once ripe, they should have a slight give to the touch. Price averages $2 per pound.

resh radishes are not typically one of those produce picks that generates a ton of excitement. I’ve always enjoyed radishes, but in moderation, and not as consistently as I should. Most notably, I have them every time I eat tacos at a local taqueria. Radishes make for the perfectly refreshing palate cleanser when consumed with savory meats and a spicy salsa. The mixture tastes great with that cold beer. I occasionally slice them at home for a salad topper and sometimes over some hot tortilla soup, but that is about the extent of my radish consumption. Recently, however, I have been much more intrigued with this edible root vegetable, working through the dozen or so varieties currently available from local farmers. This shallow growing root vegetable is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which includes the family of Brassica vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and kale. Radishes fall in the order of Brassicales, which include mustard greens, and are probably most reminiscent of the radishes flavor. Their flavor profiles can include components that are bitter, sweet and spicy. Some can be much spicier than sweet, some are more bitter than mild, and others possess a blend of all components. This week I encountered this giant red skinned variety of radish from the Her Family Farm stand called the “Red King.” These specimens were massive, and while the one I grabbed was about a quarter pound in weight, they can surpass a pound when fully mature, still yielding a nice flavor profile. Taking on a more elongated shape, somewhat reminiscent of a daikon radish, these beauties are quite sweet,

crisp and moist within. Raw or cooked, there are several ways radishes can be prepared. With such a great flavor profile, this week I decided to make a fresh radish salad, tossed with chopped Chinese cabbage. Light, simple and very refreshing, this can be served as a nice side or a full portioned salad.

Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290. Radish – Cabbage Salad 1 King Red Radish 8 cups Chinese (Napa) Cabbage, chopped 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated 4 green onions, chopped ½ cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped ¼ cup peanuts or cashew nuts Optional; 2 cups cooked chicken or tofu Dressing 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil Whisk together dressing ingredients before serving Trim the ends of the radish and cut in half lengthwise. Then cut into very thin half circles. In a large mixing bowl, add cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro, mint, and sliced radishes. Toss well. Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of salad dressing and adjust to taste. Top with nuts, and if using, chicken or tofu. Gently toss just before plating. Season with fresh cracked pepper if desired. Yield: Serves 4 sides.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Thursday, January 7, 2021

ARIES — You may not be sure what to think today, Aries. Mental confusion could be the day’s theme for you, but don’t let it get you down. Realize that it’s just one of those days when none of the pieces fit right. The truth is that they do fit somewhere, just not now. Lay low and wait for this phase to pass. Things will pick up soon as the fog lifts and you can see clearly again. TAURUS — Spiritual concerns are a bigger issue for you today, Taurus. You may have found that you’re drawn to a fanciful mindset and unorthodox way of viewing the world. Pursue this realm of thought and trust that your intuition knows exactly where to take you. Emotional tension may run high, so try not to get down on other people’s “me first� attitude. GEMINI — Does it seem like your life is pulling apart at the seams, Gemini? Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate. Major aspects of your being could be coming into question and you can’t seem to find the answer to why you started down this road in the first place. Have confidence in yourself and your incredible ability to cut to the core of every matter. This is just a phase and you’re able to work through it. CANCER — There’s an extra bit of fire in your words and emotions today, Cancer. Your sensitivity is heightened and you should consider doing some sort of volunteer work now. You may talk about saving the world, but talk will get you nowhere until you put those ideas into practice. Take part in the lives of people who are less fortunate and seek the truth in all the issues you encounter. LEO — There may be serious challenges in your daily routine today, Leo. How can you organize your day more efficiently? Take time to set a plan into motion. Write it down. You may want to drift into another realm, so let those emotions roam free - just make sure you deal with your daily tasks first. This will give you more freedom to take advantage of the blast of creative power that you have now. VIRGO — There may be serious challenges in your daily routine today, Leo. How can you organize your day more efficiently? Take time to set a plan into motion. Write it down. You may want to drift into another realm, so let those emotions roam free - just make sure you deal with your daily tasks first. This will give you more freedom to take advantage of the blast of creative power that you +*#!2 +1$)"$ have now.

LIBRA — Your dreams and fantasies are more real than you know, Libra. Smile at the people you pass and watch them smile back. Your sensitive and fun-loving nature is infectious. Use it to help heal others’ wounds. Laughter is the remedy that cures all. Be conscious of your tremendous effect on others and spread the beauty that lives inside you. SCORPIO — Your sensitivity is especially heightened today, Scorpio. You’re in tune with your emotions and more sensitive to your dreams. Realize the importance of friendship and show someone you care by initiating an outing or intimate dinner at your home. You have greater selfawareness, as well as the energy to get things done. Fantasy worlds may come to life if you let them. Watch out for overindulgence. SAGITTARIUS — You may be going through a confusing period now, Sagittarius. Today’s energy brings these issues into focus. Parts of your life seem to be slapping you in the face, indicating that a drastic life change is coming. Resist the urge to play the victim and let other people grab the reins simply because they act more confidently. This is your life and only you know what’s best for you. CAPRICORN — Spiritual concerns and fanciful daydreams move into sharp focus today, Capricorn. Perhaps you’re pulled by playful emotions and escapism. Keep one foot on the ground while you send your mind into the clouds, but definitely take time to check the air up there and report your findings to your conscious self. You may feel a greater sensitivity toward others now while your intuition is strong. AQUARIUS — Have you taken someone for granted lately? Today you should give them the thanks and attention they deserve, Aquarius. Your sensitivity and psychic awareness are especially strong. You aren’t in the mood to put up with superficialities. Stick with what is real and say it like it is. Tension in your daily life may surface, but if you have things under control, you will ride through it just fine. PISCES — There may be some serious miscommunication today, so be honest in all your dealings, Pisces. Be as straightforward as possible, since issues can backfire if the truth is clouded. Honesty is invaluable and must be maintained at all times. You have the power to make a lasting impression on people. Curb your tendency to snap at others. Watch out for accidents involving fire or metal.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Hope springs eternal for UCSB’s third-ranked men’s volleyball team By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB men’s volleyball is picking up where it left off last spring: at No. 3 in the nation. The Gauchos, 14-2 and ranked third when the rest of last season was canceled by the COVID19 pandemic, trailed only BYU and Hawaii in the preseason poll released this week by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. “We have all our starters back except our libero,” coach Rick McLaughlin said. “The interesting thing is that we’re where we ended last year — we were just starting league play when the rest of the season was canceled. “That’s probably where we’ll pick it up. We’re likely to play only league matches this season.” Administrators from Big West Conference schools are meeting today to discuss the status of their winter and spring sports seasons. The league has already canceled its fall seasons. “UCLA has decided that they’re not playing any non-conference volleyball matches … I think (the Big West) is close to that decision, too,” McLaughlin said. “But if we play league matches, it’ll be almost like getting back the other half of our season that we missed last year.” All four of UCSB’s senior AllAmericans have taken advantage of an NCAA waiver granting an extra season of eligibility for COVID-affected athletes. Libero Grady Yould was the only starter to not return. “He got an offer to get his master’s degree and play in England, so he did that — it’s a great opportunity for him,”

McLaughlin said. “We have two guys that are going to shoot for that spot. “The odds-on favorite is Ryan Pecsok, who was in a battle with Grady for the job last year. It was a really tight battle, and he’ll be really good.” McLaughlin, who was voted AVCA National Coach of the Year last spring, will be entering his 13th season with the Gauchos and 30th overall in coaching. His Fab Four seniors are led by setter Casey McGarry, who was selected to the AVCA All-America first team last year. Randy DeWeese, a 6-6 opposite hitter, and 6-6 middle Keenan Sanders were second-team picks, while 6-4 outside hitter Roy McFarland received honorable mention. “They all got (professional) offers, but they all have a goal to get it done and win the school’s first national championship,” McLaughlin said. “They wanted to give it all they’ve got. They were so close to beating BYU at BYU, so we know we have a shot.” UCSB was one point away from knocking off the top-ranked Cougars in Provo, Utah, on Feb. 1. The Gauchos led 26-25 in game four before BYU rallied for a fiveset victory. UCSB bounced back to win eight straight matches before the rest of the season was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic. McGarry ranked fourth in the NCAA in assists per set (10.59) and fifth in digs average (2.48) at the time last season ended. He twice earned the Off the Block National Setter of the Week Award. DeWeese averaged 3.7 kills per set and was a two-time winner of the Big West Conference Athlete Please see volleyball on A8

Gauchos ranked No. 10, Boone named to All-America Second Team By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Perfect Game is giving high marks to the UCSB baseball team, slotting it at No. 10 in its Preseason Top 25 poll while selecting pitcher Rodney Boone to its Preseason AllAmerica Second Team. The Gauchos, 13-2 during last year’s COVID-shortened season, followed Florida, Louisville, Texas Tech, UCLA, Mississippi, Vanderbilt, Miami, LSU and Virginia in the preseason ranking. Boone, a 6-foot-2 sophomore lefthander, is the second UCSB pitcher in recent weeks to receive preseason All-America honors. Zach Torra, a junior lefthander from Santa Ynez, was named to Collegiate Baseball’s third team last month. “Michael McGreevy made D1 Baseball’s list of top-100 draft picks,” UCSB coach Andrew Checketts pointed out, “and I think all three of them are capable of making it (All-American).” Boone, Torra and McGreevy comprised a pitching rotation that combined for a win-loss record of 7-1, ERA of 1.22, and 96 strikeouts in 74 innings during last year’s COVID-shortened season. The Gauchos tied Vanderbilt for best ERA in the nation at 1.84. Boone went 2-1 with an ERA of 2.53 and 31 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings. Checketts said he appears primed for another big season, coronavirus willing. “His last three weeks of the fall were good,” he said. “He was competitive with a lot of pitches in the strike zone. He made progress with the curveball, which is something he’d been working on. “His velocity is starting to creep up a bit. It’s still not where he wants it, but I think it’s in a good range. And his changeup has been pretty dominating.” Perfect Game’s announcement came with the explanation that last year’s interrupted season prompted it to consider “statistics from both 2019 and 2020, prospect status, 2021 expectations, and ranking relative to their draft status.” In two seasons, Boone has compiled a win-loss record of 10-1

UCSB All-American Randy DeWeese, a 6-foot-6 opposite hitter, hopes to get a do-over of his senior season this spring.

and ERA of 2.73. He’s struck out 111 batters in 102 1/3 innings. He clinched UCSB’s first league championship since 1986 when he pitched 8 1/3 shutout innings against Cal Poly on the final day of the 2019 regular season. “He’s handled himself well and, if anything, when he’s not been good it’s been when he’s overtrying a little bit,” Checketts said. “But he has shown a lot of poise. “He was a Freshman AllAmerican and Big West Freshman

of the Year and threw a lot of big games that year.” UCSB is expected to resume training on Jan. 18. It’s tentatively scheduled to open its season on Feb. 19 with a weekend series against Sacramento State with other non-conference series against UCLA, Oregon, and possibly USF. The Gauchos have also been invited to play in San Diego State’s Tony Gwynn Classic. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Two teachers spoke during the public-comment portion of the board meeting. “My concern tonight is what’s best for my students right now, and I think what’s best for them is to have agency,” San Marcos High School teacher Kim Tilton said. “There are many students that should have the choice to receive a D if that’s what’s best for them.” San Marcos High School teacher Aaron Solis was concerned he didn’t hear more communication from administrators prior to the board meeting. “This is the end. This is like June grades. The finish line is there and 10 feet before the finish line, we’re moving. We’re moving the finish line, and that affects students and that affects teachers,” he said. Board members asked how teachers were consulted. Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said a teacher advisory group was consulted with Tuesday afternoon. “I want to make sure the teachers are part of the conversation and the teachers have a seat on the table, and that we are building bridges with the teachers, the frontline workers that their input is taken into consideration,” board member Virginia Alvarez said. “And maybe we’re already doing that, but I like to see that increased so

The district administration estimated it’d receive extra funding of around $450 per student from California’s Safe Schools for All plan. To reopen school campuses, Santa Barbara County must reach a case rate at or below 28 cases per 100,000 population. The district’s re-entry task force, which contains teachers, administrators and parents, will meet this week to adjust to the board’s criticism. “We are taking the feedback and guidance that we received from our Board to look at our process, our action plan and our timeline and will be ready to share more detail in the coming days,” district spokesperson Camie Barnwell told the NewsPress.

Los Padres National Forest officials announced that the forest order prohibiting recreational shooting except in permitted gun ranges has been extended until June 30. The extension is to provide for public safety due to continuing high fire danger conditions and the potential for a wildfire sparked by target shooting. With minimal winter rainfall to date, live fuel moisture levels across the forest have not significantly rebounded from last year and remain near critical levels. Predictive weather forecasts indicate persistent, strong offshore wind events through the spring that will likely further reduce fuel moisture levels. Long-range weather models have consistently shown well below normal precipitation and drier than average weather with a high likelihood of elevated

In addition, MDA is urging all county school districts to pass safe storage resolutions and send bilingual letters to parents and guardians reminding them of their legal responsibility to safely store their firearms
