Eric Bowers Steps In to Revive Goleta Schools | California News

After 45 years, Richard Mayer is stepping down from the Goleta Union School Board — and Eric Bowers, a local attorney and parent, is poised to take his place unless someone else jumps in by Thursday. Raised in Goleta and a former Sonos corporate governance lawyer, Bowers wants to revive cut programs like music and PE, limit screen time for kids, and thoughtfully guide tech use for teens. With endorsements from supervisors, fellow board members, and parents demanding tech reform, he’s running not just as a candidate but as a parent who believes every student deserves a creative, equitable education — one that’s shaped by voices right in the classroom.
