Newhart Middle School student leaders take aim at the rise in vaping among youth |
Student leaders from two campus groups at Newhart Middle School in Capistrano Unified joined forces this year to tackle a growing concern: the skyrocketing rates of vaping among students. Over the spring, Newhart’s PAL Peer Assistance Leadership class, which empowers students to help other students, teamed up with their counterparts from the prevention-focused Club Live, which is part of the Orange County Friday Night Live Partnership, to educate kids and adults about nicotine delivery devices — and to correct some common misconceptions. |

Money from the parcel tax would have gone toward filling the multi-million dollar shortfall the district expects to have in four years, when it has spent down its reserves. |

Lawmakers consider LCFF increase and safety measures |
A bill limiting the use of restraint and seclusion techniques and another that would increase the state’s per-pupil spending targets passed a key legislative committee as the end of the current session quickly nears. AB 2657 would prohibit teachers or other school staff members from using a behavioral restraint or secluding students as a means of coercion, discipline, convenience or retaliation. Meanwhile, AB 2808 would increase the per-student base grant funding targets for school districts and charter schools under the Local Control Funding Formula. |
