Eight full-time classified employee positions were eliminated. As anacleta indicated, that does not include administrator contracts that were not renewed. It also does not include the hourly workers who will be effected.
VP of Continuing Ed, Ofelia Arellano, has taken a job at Pasadena City College.

Salaries for Transitions staff are paid by the college. The rest of the funding comes from private donations. The Fund for Santa Barbara has granted Transitions $10,000 the last two years.

A couple bits of information that I did not gather until after our print deadline:
Lance Shoemaker, President of the West Valley College Academic Senate, said of Gaskin, "We’re pretty devastated that she’s leaving. She’s been excellent to work with." He called her a "great collaborator and also a great leader."
Trustee Villegas told me via email, "Frankly, I just felt another candidate offered more of what, in my opinion, SBCC needed at this time."

My article says half the layoffs were were rescinded. The exact number is 33. Thirty-seven teachers are still waiting to find out if they will be given positions next school year.
