School is about to be back in session for the 2024-25 school year, which means summer is almost over—sad. But it also means a new school year for all of those students, new learning, new friends, new experiences—rad! For this year’s annual Education Today issue, Staff Writer Taylor O’Connor speaks with school districts that are asking voters to approve millions of dollars in bond measures in November to update old classrooms and aging buildings and build a new high school [6]. Plus, Staff Writer Libbey Hanson from the Sun’s sister paper, New Times, writes about a teen wellness program that aims to improve student mental health in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara counties [7].
This week, you can also read about a Buellton cannabis processing facility that just received the go-ahead [4]; a gym in Arroyo Grande hosting an artisan market to raise funds for a Los Alamos dog rescue [20]; and a new lounge in Solvang [24].
