Juul lawsuit: San Francisco Unified, other Bay Area school districts join |
|
San Francisco Unified School District and four other Bay Area school districts have joined a growing number of school districts around the country in suing Juul, seeking unspecified damages allegedly incurred by schools seeking to stop students from vaping. San Francisco Unified filed its complaint Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. One of the attorneys leading the case is former San Francisco City Attorney Louise Renne, a vocal Juul critic who supported the Board of Supervisors’ recent legislation banning the sale of vaping products in the city.

Too Far Away: Distance is a barrier to bachelor’s degrees for rural community college students |
|
When it comes to transferring from Barstow Community College to the nearest public university 70 miles away, Karla Magana is more worried about the commute than the academics. The 32-year-old mother of four is concerned about the distances and driving expenses to CSU San Bernardino, where she hopes to transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree and teaching credential. She is steeling herself for weather barriers through the mountains and the infamously clogged Cajon Pass.
