A Questionable Donation
As a
resident of California since 1970, and as a board member of the Carpinteria
Unified School District, I have seen many donations to CUSD.
Two
donations, however, involved cannabis profits, and I did not approve of either —
as a private citizen nor did I vote for as a board member; both have been
written about in the Coastal View News.
(1) Coastal View, Jan. 17, 2019, “After significant discussion, the board voted unanimously to amend the previous agenda, acknowledging a $1,200 donation from the CARP Growers. “This donation had been presented to the board as a gift to CUSD coming directly from the Carpinteria Rotary Club when the board knew that it was a gift from CARP Growers, an association of cannabis growers in Carpinteria.
