School District Lays Off 29

Twenty-nine part-time Santa Barbara Unified School District employees ​— ​mostly secretaries, teaching assistants, and curriculum specialists ​— ​have been “impacted by the current budget,” according to Assistant Superintendent Mitch Torina. The Board of Education approved the layoffs Tuesday evening. The laid-off employees could be brought back if and when the budget sees better days, Torina added.
