SD Unified adopts text alert system proposed by activists at school board meetings
San Diego-This week, the San Diego Unified School District launched a new initiative by local civil rights activist Shane Harris to help people who want to attend school board meetings at home.
The plan is called “Promoting Democracy” and is an open government campaign. It has established a short message notification system that will remind people when issues of concern arise at meetings. Its purpose is to avoid people spending hours watching the conference while waiting for the opportunity to speak.
The San Diego Unified was the first government agency in the county to implement the system. It will be used at the next school district board meeting on July 13.

Santa Barbara is full of ownership opportunities, albeit expensive. In contrast, we need rental units, which are the focus of state legislation applied here and elsewhere. ADUs address rental housing needs in Santa Barbara, not homeownership as the commentary suggests.

I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of you who wrote to the Santa Barbara Unified School District Board of Trustees and spoke on the Thoreau Community School’s behalf on Feb. 23. From the number of attendees at the board meeting alone, we know that the Santa Barbara community is eager for our school.
