Santa Barbara Elementary School District
Santa Barbara High School District
The Santa Barbara School Districts is
the main public school district that serves Santa Barbara,
California. Its high school system serves Goleta as well. The
district consists of one administrative system and school board
(which would technically make it one district) wrapped around two
different elementary and secondary "districts" which
have different tax bases. The high school district receives money
based on the population of Goleta and Santa Barbara while the
elementary district only receives money from the Santa Barbara
area.
Other local districts include the Goleta Union School District
and the Hope School District. Both of these districts contain
only elementary schools.
Recently, there has been dispute between the local teachers'
union (Santa Barbara Teachers Association) and the school board
over salary and benefits. The Association wants the district to
give teachers a 6.5% pay raise and additional benefits to better
compliment the area's high (and growing) cost of living. The
district asserts that it simply does not have the money to pay
them.[1]As of March 5, 2007, it appears the dispute has been
resolved, with the district giving teachers a 9% raise over three
years.
