Mayor Smyth Talks Small Businesses — June 18, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Matt Watson starts the show talking to Santa Clarita Mayor, Cameron Smyth. Mayor Smyth starts by talking about the Plum Canyon Park that opened Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. Mayor Smyth is excited to bring another park to Santa Clarita, and remains committed to his pace of one new park per year to continue to improve the natural play areas in Santa Clarita. Mayor Smyth gets right to the Black Lives Matter demonstrations and his conversation with Annie Astorga, and how that has helped begin the dialogue with the community Mayor Smyth seeks to establish. Mayor Smyth and his team are already preparing legislation and long-lasting, internal policies that will help provide racial equity and representation for minorities and people of color for years to come. He comments on how easy it would be to have a couple meetings, make a few PSAs, and do nothing more than pretend that you care on issues such as these. Mayor Smyth provides clarity on his commitment to creating the change so many others are just talking about, and looks forward to presenting those changes in the upcoming City Council meetings. To finish the interview, Mayor Smyth talks about the continued reopenings and small businesses that have been trying to get back to work across Santa Clarita.

About SCVi & iLEAD Schools:
“At iLEAD we’ve built a model based on what we believe to be the best of all that is out there. We believe passionately in project-based learning not because it’s a fad but because it goes to the heart of how kids learn. We’ve incorporated technology not as a spiffy add-on but as an organic part of the learning process in the 21st century.
We value and encourage leadership not just as a part of a career track but by instilling in each learner the confidence and character that inspire others.
It’s not unusual that we want our learners to think for themselves. But to do this requires a grounding in the arts, in design and in humanities, and the need to feel at home in the world. For us, “thinking for themselves” is not just about solving problems but about an organic vision of the world they live in and one they will inherit.
Finally, we value the social and emotional development of our learners. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach. Our goal is nothing short of learning, to change the world.” Read More…
