As president of the Board of Trustees at Santa Barbara City College, I urge our community to support Measure P. Supporting Measure P means supporting SBCC’s ability to deliver affordable high-quality education and career training in safe environments.
Our goal is simple: making our facilities safer for our students. This includes critical repair needs like leaky roofs, access for disabled students, and modernizing labs and classrooms built in the 1960s. Measure P strengthens community resilience in an emergency, through installing local power micro-grids and making earthquake safety repairs to our facility that serves as a local evacuation center.
Measure P will secure the future of SBCC without adding any new tax rates. It simply extends rates already overwhelmingly approved by voters.
