Hilda Maldonado

But yeah, interesting piece and kind of head-shaking too that it's happening at UCSB.

All right, and another non-political story this week, Josh, Hildemar Donato, excuse me, Hilda Maldonado.

I don't know.

Easy for you to say.

And this isn't a complete shock.

The timing of it is kind of funny, though, coming right before the election, because her stewardship of the district has been an issue in the discourse in the campaign.

Yeah, so Hilda Maldonado, the controversial superintendent of Santa Barbara Unified School District, announced this week through an email to teachers and staff first, and then through a public press release about an hour later that she would be resigning.

I think the word she used in her release was retiring June 30th, 2027.

They'll be intent.

It's, uh, we gotta, that's, the intent wasn't, you know, to hurt your feelings." Santa Barbara Unified Superintendent Hilda Maldonado also acknowledged concerns about how students have been treated.

Quote, "For too long students have not always experienced the same expectations, treatment, or consequences based on race," Maldonado wrote in a message to district families.

Yeah, I'm not gonna give her any credit.

Holdren? Is that fair? Who cares about what's fair? They don't care about what's fair, right? And equal treatment.

Let's go and get rid of him and bring in a real leader, and maybe there'll be changes, and then we'll...

The j- verdict's out on Hilda Maldonado.

For too long students have not always experienced the same expectations.
