‘Some sense of normalcy’ Junior Lifeguards program allows kids to be active again

fter being cooped up for a long three months, kids and teenagers in Santa Barbara are finally burning all the energy they’ve built up at home, at the beach. To many kids’ (and parents’) delight, the Junior Lifeguards program at East Beach was cleared to take place even during the coronavirus pandemic, alongside numerous strict regulations. What typically was a seven-week long session from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. with around 300 participants turned into two four-week sessions from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1 p.m.-4 p.m., with space for roughly 1,200 kids. According to Tony Sholl, the recreation supervisor of aquatics for the city of Santa Barbara, the high demand is proof that the camp “is something that was wanted.” “A lot of these kids have been quarantined for just their parents or, if they’re lucky, siblings for three months,” Mr. Sholl said. “This is a great opportunity to give them some sense of normalcy. The kids are excited to just be outside and with other kids.” To safely hold the program, the directors had to restructure. They broke the groups down into “pods” of 10 kids. Each pod is several feet away from other pods, and kids within each pod sit a safe enough distance apart when they’re not exercising. The instructors wear masks the entire time they’re on the beach, and the kids wear them when they’re not running or swimming. Any time the participants have to form a line, they’re told by instructors to hold their arms straight out like a “T” and make sure they can’t touch anyone else. “Kids are kids and they’ll forget (the rules),” Mr. Scholl said. “But it’s day three of (the program), and they’re getting a good handle on it.” He added that the nice part of the new system is that each pod of 10 stays in that pod for the four

weeks, and they don’t closely interact with other pods. They do, however, hold competitions with each other at a distance. “The instructors have gotten really creative, and they do competitions against other pods,” he said. “This pod will be here, then 20 feet away is going to be another pod that’s doing that same challenge.” Kids ages 7-17 compete with swimming, paddling, cardio, sprints and various other relays to cover both the land and sea challenges of lifeguarding. Mr. Sholl said he’s seen all the instructors, parents and kids not only buy into but rise to the challenge of dealing with the restrictions. Jackson Wright, an instructor and second-year student at California Polytechnic State University, said he believes the program has been going “really well” and that it’s encouraging for the rest of the summer. “It’s going to be a long eight weeks, but we prepared for it and we prepared well,” he said. “(Kids) are definitely excited to be out of Please see lifeguards on A8

Ex-boyfriend sentenced to life for murdering DP alumna By PAUL GONZALEZ NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

28-year-old man who murdered a Dos Pueblos High School alumna in her Winnetka apartment in 2016 will spend the rest of his life in prison. Brian Gonzalez was sentenced to life in state prison without the possibility of parole on Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Van Nuys. In February, Mr. Gonzalez was convicted of the murder of his exgirlfriend Emily Fox, 22, and her friend Jerrad Cardae Scott, 24, of La Mesa. The charges carried special allegations for murder during the commission of a kidnapping and multiple murders. At 4:20 p.m. on Jan. 17, 2016, Los Angeles Police Department officers found Ms. Fox and Mr. Scott in her Winnetka apartment with multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body, according to an LAPD report. Investigators say Mr. Gonzalez showed up at her apartment with a handgun and instigated a

confrontation with the pair. Mr. Gonzalez ran down a fleeing Mr. Scott as Ms. Fox called 911, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. “While Scott attempted to escape, Fox dialed 911. Gonzalez then caught up to Scott and brought him back at gunpoint to Fox’s location before shooting

them both, according to evidence presented at the nine-day-long trial,” the statement read. The LAPD’s Valley Bureau investigated the case. Police Detective Efren Gutierrez said Mr. Gonzalez was arrested on Jan. 19, 2016 in Santa Ana on a Greyhound bus bound for Tijuana, Mexico. Ms. Fox graduated from Dos

Pueblos High School in 2011, where she was a standout golfer, and was just months away from graduating from Cal State Northridge with a degree in sociology. She attended Foothill Elementary School and La Colina Junior High. At Dos Pueblos, Ms. Fox was a three-time All-Channel League golfer and helped lead the Chargers every year during her career. She earned an award for photography her during her senior year. After high school, Ms. Fox attended Santa Barbara City College and was awarded a scholarship to attend California State University, Northridge. She was pursuing a degree in sociology at the time of her death. Mr. Gonzalez, also known as Brian Hammons, attended Santa Barbara High School for three months over a two-year period as part of his sophomore and junior years in 2007 and 2008. He played junior varsity football during that time. email: pgonzalez@newspress.com

he creator of the world’s first 3Dprinted rocket, Relativity Space, has announced it will develop rocket launch facilities at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Relativity Space makes the rocket, called the Terran 1, at its Stargate factory. If all goes according to plan, Terran 1 will eventually launch at Vandenberg. Located near Lompoc, Vandenberg is the headquarters of the 30th Space Wing, which manages the Department of Defense’s space and missile testing, as well as satellite launches into polar and sun-synchronous orbits from the West Coast. “The 30th Space Wing takes great pride in supporting the next generation of leaders in space,” Col. Anthony J. Mastalir, 30th Space Wing commander at Vandenberg Air Force Base, said in a statement. “We are impressed by Relativity’s innovative approach to reinventing aerospace manufacturing via 3D metal printing and robotics paired with an executive team of seasoned aerospace leaders. We look forward to working with Relativity as its West Coast launch partner for many years to come.” According to Relativity’s news release on Wednesday, “The Right of Entry (RoE) allows Relativity and the 30th Space Wing to assess the viability of conducting launch operations at a location currently comprised of Building 330 and adjacent land area.” If the B-330 launch site at Vandenberg is approved, it will be capable of supporting the world’s first and only fully 3D-printed rocket, Relativity’s Terran 1. The new rocket has 100 times lower part count than traditional rockets and a maximum payload of 1,250 kilogram (or about 2,750 pounds). Because it is entirely 3D-printed at Relativity’s state-of-the-art Stargate factory, Terran 1 has a radically simple supply chain, and it can be built from raw material to flight in less than 60 days. Relativity announced this year that it plans to operate from new headquarters in Long Beach. “We’re honored to begin this partnership with the 30th Space Wing and join the exclusive group of private space companies able to conduct launches at Vandenberg,” Relativity CEO Tim Ellis said in a statement. “The West Coast launch facilities allow Relativity to provide affordable access to polar and sun-sync orbits that are critical for both government and commercial customers. The geographic southerly position of COURTESY PHOTO B-330 at Vandenberg offers schedule certainty Relativity’s and increased launch frequency that will be Terran 1 launch advantageous to our Terran 1 customers.” vehicle is the In addition to the Right-of-Entry agreement world’s first 3DPlease see relativity on A7 printed rocket.

Film festival to be held in spring By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

T

he Santa Barbara International Film Festival usually happens in the winter, but the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the event to be postponed until spring. The 36th annual event scheduled to be held in late January will now take place from March 31 to April 10 of next year, according to the festival’s website. The 2021 festival will feature more than 200 films, more than 120 of which will be having their world and United States premieres, as well as industry panels, celebrity tributes, and screenings held at local venues like the Arlington Theatre and Lobero Theatre. In a post on the festival’s Facebook page, SBIFF Executive Director Roger Durling remarked that this time amid the pandemic is the perfect time to appreciate film

as something that can get people through this difficult period. “There has never been a more critical time to celebrate cinema and its ability to get us through extremely challenging circumstances, whether on a personal level or on a global scale by keeping us entertained, informed and inspired,” he said. The change of date it turns out is not the only impact COVID19 has had on SBIFF. Funding cuts that had to be made to the city of Santa Barbara’s recently adopted budget included a reduced sponsorship for the festival. According to Nina Johnson, senior assistant to the city administrator, the $72,630 grant SBIFF is receiving from the city is $8,070 less than initially budgeted. “All city departments reduced their budgets by 5%, so we similarly asked all the City’s partners and grantees to reduce their grants at a similar level,” Ms. Johnson said.

The initial closure order went into effect March 26 d was set to expire April 30. t applied to recreational use areas such as campunds, day use sites and picnic areas. The order was issued to discourage large gathers of people and promote safe social distancing of ying more than six feet apart. n the Santa Barbara Ranger District, 12 campunds and picnic areas will remain closed, includthe Fremont campground and White Rock and d Rock picnic areas. The order Thursday does not add to the closures eady in place for Santa Barbara.

There’s not an order against hiking trails,� said Andew Madsen, U.S. Forest Service spokesman. “We just want to make sure if people go out they’re safely spaced between one another. If you get to a trailhead and there’s just too many cars there, you should find a different area to go to as opposed to trying to get in.� As state and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve, the Forest Service felt that the situation warranted a two week extension of the closures, said Mr. Madsen. “At the end of that they’ll evaluate and see where we’re at and whether or not we’re going to continue as we need it,� said Mr. Madsen. “This order can be rescinded at any time. If local health officials say it looks like the sky has cleared up we can rescind the order tomorrow. For right now, we don’t want to extend it out too far. “We just want to make sure in the next couple of weeks as we monitor what’s going on that we are taking the appropriate steps along with our state and local partners.�

Bringing health care to the world

SB-based telehealth nonprofit helps most vulnerable communities during COVID-19

By BRIAN MACKLEY NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

COURTESY PHOTOS

An internal medicine specialist from New Jersey, visible on the monitor, consults with a doctor in Bangladesh about a potential COVID-19 case. The communication is made possible by two Santa Barbara companies, the World Telehealth Initiative and InTouch Health.

uring the COVID-19 pandemic, a Santa Barbara nonprofit is working to provide access to health care for vulnerable communities all over the world. The organization, World Telehealth Initiative, is enabling doctors to help patients anywhere in the world without having to travel. The WTI sees a major need for improvement. As of now, the World Health Organization states that half of the planet’s population does not have access to essential health services and that around 40 percent of countries have fewer than 10 doctors per 10,000 people. In contrast, according to the WTI, the U.S. doctor per patient ratio is approximately one to 380 people. The world’s lower doctor-topatient ratio has left a deep impact. The lack of health care has led to 8.6 million treatable deaths each year, according to the WTI. The WTI was founded in 2017 with the help of its partners at a Santa Barbara telemedicine company, InTouch Health. Since then, the WTI has provided care for 15 developing communities around the world by using InTouch Health’s innovative global cloud-based network, which allows volunteer physicians to provide care anywhere in the world from any location. According to the WTI’s news release, “WTI’s telehealth technology is compatible with any medical specialty, including neurology, cardiology, infectious disease, pediatrics, orthopedics and more. The model is much more sustainable than traditional health care methods, such as

medical missions (flying a doctor to a location) and video conferencing (a doctor using a potentially unreliable internet connection). Medical professionals are eager to volunteer their time and services, and WTI allows them to do so from their home or office, eliminating the typical barriers of travel, cost and safety.� The World Telehealth Initiative has highlighted the effectiveness of InTouch Health’s telehealth capabilities by continuing to provide quality care around the world amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “The need for what we do has never been greater. As you may have heard, telehealth has proven to be a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19,� said Sharon Allen, co-founder and executive director of World Telehealth Initiative in a statement. “It keeps providers safe while enabling them to care for patients,� she said. “It allows infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists or epidemiologists to support any clinic or hospital anywhere in the

world. We are helping our partners in low-resourced settings establish isolation wards, get donated ventilators on-line, train on acute respiratory distress, provide patient care, etc.â€? Ms. Allen told the News-Press that when the organization first heard about the possibility of a global pandemic, “we immediately reached out to our partners and asked how we can help them and what they needed from us.â€? After finding out the needs of their international partners, Ms. Allen said with global resources spread thin due to COVID, there was a concern whether there would be a shortage of volunteer physicians to “help with the mission.â€? She explained the WTI feared it would lose the progress made before COVID-19. However, Ms. Allen said their volunteer physicians “didn’t skip a beatâ€? and that it was inspiring to see how “philanthropic our physicians are and how much they wanted to help.â€? Please see health care on A4

Wedding date forces difficult decision

The WTI has helped many of its international community programs prepare for and monitor COVID-19 in a number of ways. So far, the WTI has provided patient care, helped develop intensive care units and used its connections to provide hospitals with critical ventilators needed to fight COVID-19. In addition, Ms. Allen told the News-Press that the WTI has been able to use its relationships with infectious disease experts to connect their hospitals with “doctors that were on the frontlinesâ€? fighting COVID. “It’s been very exciting to see the successes during a time like this,â€? Ms. Allen said. “There are just so many options with telehealth to connect patients with the providers that they need.â€? Ms. Allen said that the WTI will continue to provide care around the world no matter the circumstance and has plans to

Fix of the Week SAM EDELMAN PHOTO

tarting off as a large yellow blooming flower on the plant, surrounded by broad green leaves extending towards the sun’s rays, small summer squash begin to appear at the base of most of the flowers present. Squash develops slowly, and progress is checked daily as one waits in anticipation for the harvest. Finally, the first squash is ready to be picked, with many more on the plant following close behind. There are a number of stages that fresh summer squash can be harvested, starting with the flower itself, or the flower with a small squash less than three inches long still attached. With both male and female flowers located on a single plant, it is the male flowers that tend to be more regularly harvested for culinary blossoms. Attached to a long stem, the male flower never transforms into summer squash like the female flower will. They also tend to be more open and broad, easier to work with in the kitchen. Highly praised by local chefs and home food enthusiasts, fresh squash blossoms find its way on appetizer platters making for quite the seasonal treat. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is to stuff them with goat cheese and give them a quick coat of panko bread crumbs and fry. The end result is crispy, creamy, delicious.

 Fried Goat Cheese Squash Blossoms 1 bunch or basket squash blossoms, about 8-10 6 ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre). (I used a garlic herb flavor. Can also incorporate your own fresh herbs, finely chopped.) 1 cup flour 2 large eggs, beaten 1 ½ cup Pablo bread crumbs 1 teaspoon seasoned salt Peanut oil

Add a couple spoons of goat cheese into each squash blossom. Pinch the pedals together and twist the top to seal closed. Add flour, egg and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Toss seasoned salt with bread crumbs. Add oil to a wide shallow pan, just enough to cover about a quarter inch layer and turn to medium-high heat. Dip each stuffed blossom in flour, then egg, then bread crumb. Fry each blossom in a single layer in the pan, about 2 minutes per side or until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to remove excess oil before serving warm. Yield: Makes about 8-10 blossoms.Â

I’ll share with you some advice my mother gave me years ago: The most unwelcome advice in the world is that which is unasked for. Take it to heart and your relationship with your adult children and their spouses may improve. Dear Abby: I’m planning to travel to another state in September and trying to save up for the plane ticket. The issue is, I’m going during my birthday. I’d like my family to help me with the cost of the trip, even if it’s only $5 to $10, instead of buying me gifts. How do I go about telling them that, instead of gifts, I’d prefer money without sounding ungrateful or pushy? I just would really like help paying for my trip. — Family Help Dear Family Help: Because you would prefer cash to tangible gifts, a way to approach this would be to confide your preference in your mother or another close relative and let that person spread the word. Good luck!

a walk after it’s over. Your mind will be churning, and you’ll want to clear your head. LIBRA — Paperwork, perhaps contracts or other legal documents of some kind, might need attention so you can move ahead with some of your projects. These projects could involve writing or speaking. Your mind is in just the right space to participate in anything involving communication, Libra, and doors of opportunity may open up for you in this field. Gird your loins and get to it. You’ll be glad you did. SCORPIO — The financial picture continues to improve, Scorpio. At some point during the day, you might have the feeling that you aren’t working hard enough to keep the forward motion going, and you might feel panic rise. This could prove a good motivating factor, but you don’t need to push yourself harder than you’re going now. You’re on a roll and it’s likely to continue. Just pace yourself. SAGITTARIUS — Even though all continues to go well for you, Sagittarius, your mood may go up and down today. In spite of all the great things in your life, you might find yourself feeling a little blue sometime during the day. Don’t read too much into it. It’s probably just the result of low biorhythms. Try to distract yourself with work. This evening talk or text with some friends who always cheer you up. CAPRICORN — Trying to get too much work done in the course of one day might prove self-defeating today, Capricorn. Your energy isn’t what it usually is, and you’re probably operating on nervous energy. Consider the situation and list your tasks in order of urgency. The world won’t come to an end if you don’t get them all done today. In the evening, rent a pile of DVDs, order a pizza, and relax. AQUARIUS — A depressed friend may need cheering up. Your ability to nurture and listen sympathetically will prove beneficial, Aquarius. Take care not to absorb any of this person’s dejection. Your own life should continue to go well, with business and career successes leading to new friendships and goals. Hang onto your own enthusiasm and optimism while extending a compassionate ear to others. PISCES — Too many projects to complete might have you feeling just a little bit pressured, Pisces. However, your innate determination is likely to drive you on to try to get it all done even if it seems impossible. Don’t try to do it all yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask for a little help. This might accomplish your ends without putting undue burdens on yourself.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — You’ve been doing well, Aries, but today you might be feeling more focused than ever. The path ahead seems clear and well defined. You’re looking forward to the future with motivation and anticipation. You might be considering a travel adventure or perhaps going back to school for an advanced degree. Today is a good day to start doing some research and finalizing your plans. Go to it. TAURUS — The astral energy indicates positive financial news. A settlement, grant, or bonus of some kind that you’ve anticipated for a long time may finally manifest. You might want to celebrate, Taurus. A chance to attend a large gathering might come your way. Have fun. Tonight, don’t be surprised if you have vivid dreams - some great, some sad. Keep paper and pen handy so you can write them down. GEMINI — Today you’ll put a lot of energy into business, personal, or romantic partnerships. They’re likely to be especially beneficial now, Gemini. So even if you prefer to work alone, this is the time to explore the possibility of joining with those who share your ambitions. Romantic partnerships formed or advanced today are likely to prove stable and enduring. Don’t let fear stand in your way. Move ahead. CANCER — Too much work and the resulting pressure over the past few days could have you feeling too tired to do anything more, Cancer, although your optimism and enthusiasm are still intact. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re dragging a little toward the end of the day. You’ll be able to recharge your batteries before tomorrow. In the evening, relax at home with a good book. LEO — Romance blossoms for you tonight, Leo, perhaps after a long period of standing still. A new sense of stability and security may settle on love relationships and close friendships. Children could also be a source of warmth and pleasure. You might want to channel some of this positive energy into creative activity of some kind, which will increase your sense of contentment and wellbeing. VIRGO — Tonight you might host a virtual social event, perhaps for business associates. You could be nervous at first, Virgo, wondering if all will go as well as you hope, but your efforts should produce the results you want. You might be introduced to new contacts, leading +*#!2 +1$)"$ to increased opportunities. Take

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.

‘Relativity’s Terran 1 fits our launch needs’ relativity

Continued from Page A1

at Vandenberg, Relativity also announced Wednesday that it has signed a launch contract with Iridium Communications Inc. to help with the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation. After SpaceX, Relativity is the only other private space company Iridum has chosen for launch. “Iridium offers critical communications over the planet’s entire surface, and we are very proud to be their launch partner that supports this capability,â€? Tim Ellis, CEO and co-founder of Relativity Space, said in a statement. “As the first 3D-printed launch vehicle, Terran 1 offers uniquely disruptive flexibility, cost and performance advantages, especially for medium-payload missions that need dedicated launches.â€? According to Relativity’s press release, “The secondgeneration Iridium constellation was completed in January 2019 and consists of 66 operational satellites and 9 in-orbit spares. An additional six satellites were manufactured as ground spares and remain in storage. Should the need arise to launch a ground spare, Relativity’s Terran 1 offers a cost-effective, efficient response time option for Iridium to quickly

deploy a satellite to one of its six orbital planes. Relativity’s disruptive large-scale robotic 3D printing technology enables launches within months, instead of years.� As it moves forward with its partnership with Iridium, the Vandenberg launch site will be crucial for Relativity because it provides access to the particular polar and sun-sync orbits needed to launch the satellites used

for the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation. Relativity’s press release states that the launches will happen on an as needed basis and are planned for no earlier than 2023. “The upgraded Iridium satellite constellation is operating incredibly well, but it’s prudent to have a cost-effective launch option available for future spare delivery,� Matt Desch, CEO of Iridium, said in a statement.

“Relativity’s Terran 1 fits our launch needs to LEO well from both a price, responsiveness and capability perspective. And we know based on our previous experience that there are great benefits to engaging with a provider early on during development of the launch vehicle and it evolving around our particular needs.â€? Relativity co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jordan Noone told the News-Press as the company continues to grow that he is excited for what is ahead and is looking forward to new opportunities. According to Relativity’s press release, “This agreement represents yet another milestone that the company secured with federal, state and local governments and agencies across the United States government. A new launch site at Vandenberg will be Relativity’s latest addition to its portfolio of major infrastructure partnerships, which also include a launch site Right of Entry at Cape Canaveral Launch Complex-16 and an exclusive-use Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) agreement for NASA test sites E4 and E2 at the NASA Stennis Space Center.â€? (The space center is in Mississippi.)

Anyone with information about illegal fireworks can call the Sheriff’s Office at (805) 6814100. Lompoc Police Department officers are patrolling the city in unmarked vehicles looking for people using fireworks.

‘Eat, sleep, breathe Junior Lifeguards’

UCSB teams rank No. 49 in national poll By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

N

CAA Tournament success in men’s soccer and women’s volleyball has elevated UCSB to a No. 49 national finish in this year’s abbreviated Learfield IMG College Director’s Cup race. The Gauchos ranked No. 1 among Big West Conference members in the Learfield standings. They were also rated tops among non-football schools, beating out many Power 5 conference programs in the process. UCSB could have finished even higher if the promising seasons of its winter and spring programs hadn’t been cancelled last March by concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic. Three Gaucho teams were ranked nationally at that time: men’s volleyball at No. 3, women’s water polo at No. 8, and baseball at No. 20 in the Ratings Percentage Index. “We are very proud of what our studentathletes were able to accomplish that past year,” director of athletics John McCutcheon said. “The standings reflect the accomplishments of those teams that were able to complete their seasons of competition but, as we know, many of our winter and

spring programs were poised for success, as well.” Points in the Learfield rankings are awarded when a team advances to the NCAA playoffs. Only fall sports were used in this year’s scoring. UCSB earned 123 points to finish in a tie for 49th place with South Carolina. A big chunk of that total came from the Gauchos’ run to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament. UCSB also got to the second round in women’s volleyball. The Gauchos were also poised to challenge for NCAA Tournament berths in men’s and women’s basketball. Both UCSB teams had finished in second place in the Big West Conference regular season and were about to open league tournament play when the NCAA pulled the plug on all intercollegiate competition. UCSB was also a strong contender to earn NCAA berths in both men’s and women’s tennis. Stanford finished as the top team in the DI Learfield standings after winning NCAA championships in women’s soccer, women’s volleyball and men’s water polo. email: mpatton@newspress.com

SB school district approves hybrid scenario for fall reopening By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

T

he Santa Barbara Unified School District approved a hybrid scenario on Tuesday to help schools reopen Aug. 18, the start of the fall semester, that would be used should the board decide to open up its classrooms. With COVID-19 cases on the rise in Santa Barbara over the last few weeks, the school board has considered many different options for the upcoming school year. In this hybrid scenario, there would be changes for students of all grades. For students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade, there would be two cohorts. Cohort A would attend school on Mondays and Thursdays all day in person with social distancing while Cohort B would attend Tuesdays and Fridays. On days they are not attending school, students would receive remote instruction. At the junior high level, they would implement a quarter-block system and would have three classes during the first quarter from Aug. 18 to Oct. 16 and another three in the second quarter from Oct. 20 to Jan. 15. There would also be a greater flexibility with periods, including an additional period in the afternoon. One cohort would attend classes on Mondays and Thursdays while the others would go on Tuesdays and Fridays. All students would have remote learning on Wednesday. The high school system would look similar, with four class blocks

per day and some students going to class on Mondays and Thursdays while the others go on Tuesdays and Fridays. Zoom classes would be offered for all students on Wednesdays. The hybrid scenario would also make Dos Pueblos High and Santa Barbara High semester schools and would approve the implementation of a 100% remote model for students grades TK through 12. Assistant Superintendent Frann Wageneck told the board three guiding principles to coming up with the hybrid scenario. These include: listening to students, faculty and the public to ensure safety; providing accessible learning to all students from various backgrounds; and soliciting stakeholder feedback. Specifically, providing accessible learning is particularly important as the pandemic has put a strain on a lot of families. “This pandemic has sharpened and multiplied the inequities that exist in our society, so you can be assured that our district is taking the steps necessary to ensure that when we return, whatever returning looks like, that each student has access to all the learning opportunities,” Dr. Wageneck said, adding that staff is planning for all three scenarios. “We want you to know that as we plan for all three we’re relying on science and ever changing information to guide us in our decision making,” Dr. Wageneck said. The other scenarios were 100% remote learning or full reopening. In the presentation, the hybrid scenario included parent surveys

asking how they feel about sending their kids to school when the fall semester begins. “The strong takeaway here is that the majority of parents feel a strong level of comfort and agree that they feel comfortable sending their children to school midAugust,” Shawn Carey, district administrator, said. The survey also showed that students would like to attend school as much as possible with the assurance of proper safety guidelines. The school board will be asked to make a final decision on a school reopening plan July 21. The board also voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve a resolution in support of black student leaders who presented the district with a series of demands talking about institutional racism. They also approved the action plan presented. The demands included, in part: adding ethnic classes, having school resource officers complete bias training before working on campus; condemning the school to prison pipeline; and declaring racism a public health emergency. Two new ethic classes will be offered in the fall, and according to the school districts website, 1,100 students have already signed up for the classes. More than 60 people spoke during public comment, some criticizing the need for ethic classes when the district has failed to provide adequate support for math and reading classes. “I read an article in a national publication that was titled, ‘Santa Barbara school district where Marxism and Black Lives Matter,

but academics, not so much.’ I see you’re patting yourselves on the back for all the social justice you’ve done but you guys have failed. You guys have an F in reading and math,” one parent said. Other parents also criticized the district for focusing on teaching students to be activists instead of core classes. “It is totally inappropriate for a public school to make children agents of change, but that’s what this course (ethnic courses) wants to do,” another person added. Others spoke in favor of the demands. Talia Hamilton, an incoming senior at San Marcos High and main leader of Black Student Youth Santa Barbara, said it’s been great how much support they have received from the school board. “We can’t do much without you guys. We are very thankful for you. I’m excited to see where this goes. We need to teach our youth that there is no room for racism. It’s not one and done. This will be a process,” she said. Boardmember Wendy SimsMoten, the board’s only black member, also added her support and said she is grateful for the work being done. “It took a pandemic to raise the level of awareness around the injustices that have been there day in and day out within the African American community,” she said. “We can no longer have our students feel invisible or unworthy. It’s important to have allies beside us, even if you are not being impacted. We are all human. To see this swell of support really warms my heart.” email: jmercado@newspress.com
