The challenges of early childhood services in Santa Barbara, from health care to child care to pre-K programs — and achievement-gap issues for those without — are up for discussion at a town hall meeting on September 22 from 5-7 p.m. at Santa Barbara High School. Hosted by Common Sense Kids Action and the Right Start Commission, the gathering will feature several speakers, including Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and UCSB’s Matthew Quirk.
