To avoid unnecessary speculation, the Blue Ribbon Report to the Superintendent

---

When PG&E announced in June 2016 their plans to close the Diablo Canyon Power Plant no later than 2025 when the license expires, San Luis Coastal has actively engaged the Board, staff, and community about the substantial economic impacts of PG&E’s decision.  Among other efforts, the Superintendent assembled a Blue Ribbon Committee to serve as an independent advisory body.  He requested the following:

• Conduct a completely independent review of the long-term financial issues facing the District as a result of the direct loss of $8 million annually in property tax revenues generated by the nuclear power plant;

• Understand the key drivers of expenses and revenues;

• Create a working framework to address the loss of these tax revenues, mindful that the central focus is to ensure the ongoing success of our students.

The Committee’s Membership includes a cross-section of local leaders within the community.  They include former and current education professionals, parents of current district students as well as district graduates, business and civic leaders, all with an ardent commitment to our students and teachers, as well as to our community’s overall intellectual and economic well being.

Occurring this year on November 28, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the US) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

This holiday season we are grateful to the teachers, parents and community members who give their time, energy and financial support to Teach Boosters. It is through Teach Boosters that we are able to enrich the educational experiences at Teach Elementary School.
