San Luis Coastal Unified School District

An open letter from the SLCUSD’s Board of Trustees asks for funding from PG&E to continue as long as the Diablo Canyon Power Plant continues running.

The new agreement means the county government and other entities will now receive $8.3 million a year for the next two years, matching previous payments.

Classes start soon for students on the Central Coast, but a state law has triggered a policy change for many districts. Now, students won’t be allowed to use their cellphones during class.

A bill involving payments from PG&E to local governments and agencies has been amended to draw from a new funding source.

A Central Coast lawmaker is trying to close a multi-million dollar funding gap tied to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The proposal comes after California extended the plant’s operations, and excluded a previous tax that funded local schools and public services.

State Senator John Laird told KCBX he will make sure funding to local communities is included on any potential bill to extend the Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s operations past the year 2030.

A new bill in the state legislature would renew funding paid by PG&E to communities and schools around Diablo Canyon, California’s only operational nuclear power plant.

The City of Morro Bay has taken a major step toward purchasing the former Morro Elementary property, a site that many residents hope remains a community space.

San Luis Coastal Unified School District students say they generally feel safe and supported at school, but survey data shows mixed feelings about the pressures they face in the classroom.

The San Luis Coastal Unified School District approved major budget cuts Tuesday night. The decision sets the stage for possible layoffs and reductions to student services for the 2026/2027 school year. District officials say the loss of one-time covid funding and a multi-million dollar tax tied to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant made the cuts unavoidable. But, some parents and staff argue the district had years to prepare.
