IMPERIAL BEACH (KGTV) — Some South Bay parents are upset after they say their elementary school abruptly canceled an annual Christmas tradition out of deference to families who do not observe the holiday.For years, students at Oneonta Elementary School in Imperial Beach had a December assembly featuring Christmas decorations, Christmas songs and a visit from Santa.This year’s December assembly was held Friday without a Christmas show. Teachers learned of the change Wednesday, according to 6th grade parent Jose Cariman.“No notice to the parents. No notice to the teachers, no advance notice for anything,” he said. “What are they teaching [the students]? Are they teaching them that Christmas is not allowed to be celebrated?”RELATED:San Diego students get 'epic' Christmas surprise from officersPadres players surprise San Diego elementary school students with new bikesVideo from the assembly in 2018 shows children in Santa hats singing Christmas songs on a stage decorated with the words “Merry Christmas” in at least four languages.6th grade student Alexis Sandoval said she was disappointed by the change, particularly for her younger siblings.“It was just super sad because we’re always used to having a nice, fun Christmas party, and now we just can’t have a party for some reason,” she said, noting the school began scaling back aspects of its holiday celebration last year.Oneonta has a new principal, David Trautman, who joined the school in July 2018, according to his LinkedIn page. Trautman declined to comment and referred questions to the South Bay Union School District.RELATED:Sweetwater Union High School District approves interim budget with million shortfallSan Marcos parents sound off against superintendent's hires“South Bay Union School District is dedicated to ensuring that all students, families, and staff feel welcome and included on our campuses and at all District facilities,” Superintendent Katie McNamara said in a statement.McNamara said the district serves a diverse community with a variety of beliefs, both religious and secular, and provided the following guidance to school employees before the holiday season: “While teaching about religious holidays is a permissible part of the educational program, celebrating religious holidays is not allowed in public schools.”“During the time of the year when major religious holidays are celebrated, it is important to remember that not everyone shares the beliefs of the majority,” she added.Miriam Martinez, a parent of a 2nd grader, said she doesn’t understand why some schools in SBUSD went forward with Christmas-themed assemblies when the celebration at Oneonta was canceled. “It’s upsetting because they look forward to it. And it’s unfortunate because not all of us can afford to take them to the mall to see Santa. So some of the kids just do it at school. This is where they get to tell Santa their Christmas list,” she said.A district press release mentions an event at Mendoza Elementary called “Irish You a Merry Christmas.” The event was sponsored by outside groups and held on a Saturday. A district spokesperson did not directly respond to a question about end-of-year assemblies at other schools. “Schools and classrooms have been decorated and are reflective of seasonal themes and many schools have had numerous festive programs,” McNamara said in the statement.Cariman and Martinez said they’d like to see Oneonta handle Christmas like it handles Halloween: parents who don’t want to participate can opt out, and bring their child to school late.

House Republicans released a tax reform plan Thursday that would eliminate a tax break for Americans with student debt.The student loan interest tax deduction saves people as much as 5 a year, though most see a smaller benefit.The sweeping legislation was described by House Speaker Paul Ryan as a series of tax cuts aimed at helping most Americans. But it eliminates or limits some tax deductions and exemptions to fund those cuts.The student loan interest tax deduction is just one on the chopping block. The bill still needs to be approved by both the House and Senate, and signed by President Trump, who has said it will be done "before Christmas."Here's how it currently works: Those eligible can claim up to ,500 of what they paid toward the interest on their student loans, but not the principal.It's an "above the line" deduction that can be claimed without itemizing. But it's only available to borrowers with a modified adjusted gross income of less than ,000 (0,000 for married couples filing jointly.) The benefit is gradually reduced once you earn at least ,000 (or 0,000 for couples).About 12 million people claimed the student loan interest deduction in 2015, according to the IRS. More than 40 million Americans have student debt.The student loan interest deduction cost the federal government billion in foregone revenue during 2016, according to a report from The Pew Charitable Trusts.The cost has more than doubled since 2007 as student loan balances grew, even though the maximum deduction (,500) hasn't changed since 2001, the report said.Still, it costs less than the American Opportunity Tax Credit. That allows families who are paying for college out-of-pocket to claim up to ,500 per student. The benefit, which cost nearly billion in 2016, would be preserved under the House Republican plan.Even if the federal student loan interest deduction is repealed by Congress, you may still qualify for a state deduction. Thirty-seven states and D.C. offer a similar benefit, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts.The House bill also proposes nearly doubling the standard deduction. It would raise it for singles to ,000 and for married couples filing jointly to ,000. 2279

In 2015, Matthew Muncy, a father of four girls, was looking for work.“You go into the store and the kids, they’re wanting things, and you can’t give it to them,” he said. "Even so much as a candy bar could mean the difference between feeding them dinner or not."But the right job can be hard to find in Jackson County, Kentucky. The landscape is green with trees that scale up the mountains that shelter small cities like McKee, Kentucky from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.The entire county has one stoplight.“Great community, great people. I love it here,” said Keith Gabbard, CEO of Peoples Rural Telephone Cooperative.In this a population of fewer than 1,000 people, community means everything. It’s why Gabbard worked to bring hope to his neighbors, like Muncy.Gabbard brought fiber optic internet to the small city.“When you say fiber, people say, ‘cereal? What are you talking about?’” Gabbard recalled of what people thought when the idea first hit the area.Fiber optic internet is some of the fastest internet you can find.“Fine glass the size of a human hair that you send a light through,” he explained.In 2014, Gabbard's rural part of the Bluegrass State went from barely having any internet connection to now having some of the fastest internet in the country.“Think of the speed of light and how fast that is, that’s how I like to compare it,” Gabbard said. “Our Internet here is as good as New York City.”More than half of Americans say internet access has been essential during the novel coronavirus pandemic. However, according to 2016 figures, 39 percent of rural Americans lack access to broadband internet.The cost of bringing broadband to the Jackson County area wasn’t cheap. Gabbard says grants and loans covered most of the broadband network’s -million cost.But one of the biggest payoffs of the light-speed connection is opportunity.“We’re talking about people who have been working at a gas station before on minimum wage that are doing tech support for Apple from their home,” Gabbard said.Gabbard says the network has helped bring hundreds of jobs to the area.Muncy now works doing customer support for a major tech company.“If it wasn’t for the internet, I couldn’t do my job period,” he said.For him, the connection is to more than just the internet; it’s to a new life. 2320
