The move is one of several staffing changes meant to address declining enrollment amid a tightening budget, Santa Barbara Unified School District says.

La Cumbre Junior High and Santa Barbara Community Academy to Share One Principal

Staffing changes in the Santa Barbara Unified School District are worrying parents. But the district insists that declining enrollment is to blame.

Assistant principals have been removed at three elementary schools: Washington, Roosevelt, and Adams.

Additionally, just one principal will be running both La Cumbre Junior High and Santa Barbara Community Academy (SBCA), an elementary school that shares a campus with La Cumbre in Santa Barbara.
