2020 Census: OCDE kicks off countywide awareness campaign |
|
OCDE is launching a new social media campaign to raise awareness about the upcoming U.S. Census count for local communities. The department will use its Facebook, Instagram and Twitter platforms to share one weekly fact about the U.S. Census over the next 20 weeks, which is right around the time Orange County households will be asked to respond. The idea is to emphasize the importance of the census, the fact that all information collected must be kept confidential, and that’s it’s easy for families to participate.

Saugus High prepared extensively for what unfolded on campus Thursday |
|
Saugus High School’s extraordinarily detailed safety plan likely helped students and staff remain calm and enabled Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies to quickly secure the scene Thursday, Nov. 14, of a campus shooting that left two students dead and four others wounded, according to a law enforcement expert. The 245-page plan updated in 2018 is a model of preparation that should be emulated by school districts across the nation, said Rob O’Donnell, a former New York City Police Department homicide detective.

DA Announces Online Tool, Task Force to Address School Abuse Complaints |
|
The San Diego County District Attorney’s office announced Thursday that it’s launching an online reporting tool for students, parents or school employees to report abuse in schools, as well as a task force to handle complaints. The move addresses some of the systemic shortcomings that have been revealed as part of a two-year Voice of San Diego investigation into harassment and abuse in San Diego County’s public schools.
The new set of independent eyes on complaints from the public, District Attorney Stephan said, will allow her office to hold school districts and employees accountable and keep students safe.

East Bay board may consider firing superintendent amid fiscal crisis |
|
Amid a deficit that has ballooned from $10 million to $48 million in a few months, a San Francisco Bay Area superintendent’s job is on the line as attention focuses on keeping the district solvent. The board of West Contra Costa Unified — which includes Richmond and surrounding communities — will hold a special closed meeting at 6 p.m. Friday to discuss Superintendent Matthew Duffy’s performance evaluation. The session could result in the superintendent’s termination.

LBUSD Board OKs Second School Resource Officer |
|
The Laguna Beach Police Department will add a second school resource officer following the Laguna Beach Unified School District’s vote Tuesday to approve a cost-sharing agreement with the city. The oral interview process for prospective candidates for the SRO position will begin next week, Laguna Beach Police Sgt. Jim Cota said.
The city and school district will equally split the $378,000 annual compensation for Cpl. Cornelius Ashton, Laguna Beach’s current school resource officer, and his future team member. This is a steep increase from the district’s current contribution of $25,000 per year.
