Santa Barbara City College has started looking for a permanent replacement for interim Superintendent-President Kindred Murillo, and a new leader is expected to be chosen before next summer, according to SBCC’s Executive Director of Public Affairs and Communications Martha Swanson.
It would be the school’s fifth superintendent-president since 2019.
In early 2019, former superintendent-president Anthony Beebe unexpectedly announced his retirement due to health issues. Helen Benjamin was selected to fill the position on an interim basis while the SBCC Board of Trustees found what it hoped would be a permanent replacement.
