Longest-Serving Supe of Schools Endorses Capps
Bill Cirone Announces Endorsement of Laura Capps for 1st District Supervisor, Disses Das Williams
Former Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools Bill Cirone — the longest-serving superintendent of schools in the state — announced his endorsement of Laura Capps for 1st District Supervisor Friday morning at Sunflower Park.
“My favorite John Gardner quote captures why I strongly support Laura Capps and the goals of her campaign,” the 34-year veteran of county education said. “‘Put your faith in ideas, ideals, movements, and goals. Don’t put your faith in organizational forms; human beings are building the church and killing the creed.’ Laura is all about the creed.”
Capps, who sat on the Santa Barbara school board since 2016 and was elected as board president last month, was surrounded at the event by a group made up mostly of educators. The group sat around a table in the park — a laid-back setup for the announcement.
