Great public schools don’t happen

communities build them.

School Board Bridge is a nonpartisan, community - rooted pipeline preparing neighbors to run - and govern - ethically and effectively on the Santa Barbara Unified Board of Education and its feeder districts School Boards. Our community’s children require, and our shared future depends on, school boards that are knowledgeable, representative, deeply invested, and unwaveringly focused on student success. Santa Barbara School Board Bridge exists to cultivate and sustain that caliber of leadership.
