South Coast College To Host Elementary School Displaced By Flooding In Montecito

Some elementary school students from Montecito are going to be going to college as a result of the flooding.

Santa Barbara City College is going to be temporarily hosting Montecito Union’s more than 400 students. Starting Thursday, the school will use more than a half dozen of SBCC’s portable classrooms and an event tent as temporary class space.

The Montecito Union campus didn’t suffer serious damage, but it’s in the mandatory evacuation zone.
