Announcement from SBCEO

Dear School Business Professionals,
With the announcement of our retirements, many of you have asked Denice and me who will be taking our places as Associate Superintendent, Administrative Services, and Administrator, School Business Advisory Services. The recruitment process is underway, and when it is completed, information about our successors will be forthcoming.
In the meantime, we are pleased to share that Debbie Breck (retired Administrator, Internal Services at SBCEO) has graciously agreed to fill-in for both vacancies on an interim basis, beginning today, December 29. Debbie’s skill and knowledge make her the perfect choice to fill the gaps and help keep everything moving forward during the time it takes to complete the hiring and transition process for these two positions.
As we close this calendar year, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of you for making a difference in LEAs throughout Santa Barbara County. Your solid support in the business office has been and continues to be invaluable to children, families, and employees countywide as you support public education.
We have truly enjoyed working with you as friends and colleagues over the years, and we wish you and your districts continued success in the coming years.
With deep fondness and thanks,
Bill and Denice
Bill Ridgeway Associate Superintendent, Administrative Services
Denice Cora Administrator, School Business Advisory Services
