Researchers collected trash from Bay Area high school grounds to better understand teen vaping and smoking |
|
To better understand the vaping epidemic in high schools across the United States, researchers have turned to the ground. Researchers in Northern California have “systematically scanned the student parking lots and exterior school perimeter areas” to collect e-cigarette, tobacco and cannabis waste on the ground, according to a note published on Thursday in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. There were differences in what was found on the ground at schools with a predominantly middle- and upper-income student population compared with schools with a lower-income student population.

Push to increase the number of teachers of color in California classrooms gains momentum |
|

Pasadena Unified closer to secondary school closures — here are the options |
|
Pasadena Unified school board members expected to narrow the choices for middle and high school closures Thursday; but by the time the meeting had finished — nearly six hours later — the only decision was a collective indecision. To the disappointment of several board members and parents in the audience, officials decided to delay any kind of decision-making — even conversations about potential decision-making — until after next week’s town hall-style meeting.
