Hispanic Chamber of Commerce promotes local Hispanic businesses
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV)– The Hispanic community has grown of the past few years, and the Metropolitan Savannah Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce president said it will continue to grow. The Hispanic Chamber said it's their mission to provide a voice for the local Savannah businesses. They also don't only serve the Hispanic community, but also the non-Hispanic community by bridging the gap between them. 'The Hispanic Chamber is basically, people who don't know anything about Hispanics and people who know about Hispanics or are Hispanic and bringing them together,' Hispanic Chamber President Alfonso Ribot said. Ribot said that the diverse community is what the Savannah area needs, and the Hispanic businesses have something unique that everyone can enjoy. 'I know we're talking about some of the things that are happening out there in which businesses are closing, but one of the things that Hispanic businesses are doing is food,' Ribot said. 'Our culture, our way of treating people is appealing not just to Hispanics.' Ribot said Hispanic business owners are more prone to stick to the business because it's like a family and that business needs to be promoted. 'If you are non-Hispanic, Hispanic and you are able lease patronize Hispanic businesses and anyone that has that little sign on the door that says Hispanic Chamber of Commerce member, come in you're going to love it,' Ribot said. The Metropolitan Savannah Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce said they welcome anyone to join the chamber. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

BCSD to use general fund to finish HVAC projects after US Department of Education rescinds spending extension
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The Bakersfield City School District is expected to fund the remaining $22 million balance for its HVAC improvement projects through its general fund after federal officials abruptly canceled a previously approved COVID-19 fund spending extension in March. The HVAC upgrade and chiller replacement projects seek to replace the chiller-based heating and cooling systems at schools with new HVAC systems, which provide 'more energy-efficient and reliable climate control' while also improving indoor air quality for students and staff, according to BCSD spokesperson Tabatha Mills. The project is ongoing and under active construction at eight schools: Munsey Elementary Fremont Elementary Wayside Elementary Washington Middle School Horace Mann Elementary Mt. Vernon Elementary Pioneer Drive Elementary Roosevelt Elementary Mark Luque lands new job after surprise resignation as head of Bakersfield City School District These projects were launched when the school district received funding through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III program, which was meant to support American schools as they address the impacts of the pandemic, according to Mills. The remaining project balance is $21,912,159, according to the agenda for the board meeting set for Tuesday. On March 28, the United States Department of Education rescinded its decision to extend the spending deadline for ESSER III for school districts that applied and were approved to get an extension. While local education agencies like BCSD who were approved for an extension had until March 2026 to liquidate all its received funding, the Department of Education changed the deadline to March 28, 2025. KHSD to consider banning discriminatory teaching material in proposed revision to policy U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced the new deadline in a letter addressing state education chiefs on the same day as the new deadline, saying they 'ran the risk' of getting their extension request denied by not meeting the formal deadline in January. 'Extending deadlines for COVID-related grants, which are in fact taxpayer funds, years after the COVID pandemic ended is not consistent with the Department's priorities and thus not a worthwhile exercise of its discretion,' McMahon said. This change prevents BCSD from finishing the HVAC improvement projects using federal grants. At the board meeting May 27, the board approved the updated ESSER III Expenditure Plan. Through the updated plan, the funding source for the HVAC updates was moved from ESSER to the district's general fund to successfully complete the projects. Never miss a story: Make your homepage This shift in funding will not result in any increase to BCSD's general fund budget and the board is not looking to approve new spendings regarding these projects at tonight's meeting, according to Mills. If approved, BCSD will report the remaining construction commitments as of June 30 in its financial statement, Mills said. The projects are all expected to be completed in the next fiscal year, according to the agenda. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
