The Santa Barbara Unified School District is condemning an anti-Semitic act committed at Dos Pueblos High School. The staff was troubled to learn a swastika was discovered on a pole in the Goleta school’s stadium.

A custodial team removed it immediately and an investigation is now under way, district spokesman Ed Zuchelli said.

“While we have not determined the perpetrator, Santa Barbara Unified condemns this hateful act in the strongest possible terms,” Mr. Zuchelli said in a statement.

“Santa Barbara Unified opposes these acts and will continue to educate our students and our community in combating any and all acts of bias and hate. If you see or hear anything, please report it to school site leaders.”

“We have every intention of being open Sunday morning,”

“All wood, vinyl and carpeting had to be removed, and the floors scraped from the adhesive, which holds bacteria,” Pastor Schneider said.

“We had over 50 volunteers a day removing the water, cleaning the floors, disinfecting and removing anything touched by the water,” he noted. “We are doing double shifts, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
