Off the I-15

During our 11 a.m. staff meeting today, it dawned on my that the Desert Dispatch staff has been devoting considerable barrels of ink and time to writing about budgets. And the good news, more stories about how the state cuts could affect Barstow are on their ways.

Google helped me realize just how much of my work has been focused on the Barstow Unified School District’s budget. When you do a Google search and it lists a bunch of Web sites, the number of times you’ve visited a site appears next to the URL.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that number next to the site of the Barstow Unified School District was around seven or so. I thought it strange. I cover education and have only been to this site a handful of times.

No more! As of Wednesday morning, the morning after the board approved the BUSD budget, I have visited the district site 52 times, and I suspect that number will increase.
