At school safety forum, DA tells parents, 'It's a moral responsibility' |
|
School shootings are preventable, because most attackers announce their intentions, District Attorney Summer Stephan told about 500 concerned parents at a school safety forum in Poway Tuesday night.
“In 93 percent of school shootings, they said something, and told someone, what they planned on doing,” she said. “In 70 percent of cases, they told two people.”

Some California districts are downplaying the National School Walkout as others embrace it |
|
Fifty years ago this week, Latino students in Los Angeles shocked their teachers, their principals — and the world — by organizing massive school walkouts to protest their unequal education in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The weeks of walkouts, called “blowouts” by their organizers, introduced California’s Chicano movement to the wider world and ushered in an era of school reform that is ongoing today. |

Bill would authorize medical marijuana on K-12 campuses |
|
Parents and guardians of students authorized to receive medicinal marijuana would be allowed to provide non-smoking forms of the drug on school grounds and facilities, under legislation pending before lawmakers. SB 1127 by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, would give school boards, county boards and the governing body of charter schools the ability to put policies into place that would allow the therapeutic administration of marijuana. The bill would not require such policies to be adopted. |

OC education, government, law enforcement leaders offer candid discussion on school safety |
|
Orange County’s public schools, law enforcement and other government agencies have boosted collaborative efforts in recent years aimed at preventing school shootings and other dangerous situations involving student safety. These efforts include improved training for teachers and school staff on how to react to an active shooter on campus, increased support to identify bullying and the other social and emotional issues that can lead to a student feeling isolated from peers, and better communication among different police agencies that can allow faster responses to potential threats. |
