Irvine elementary students start a new school year, with a new school |
|
Students entering Loma Ridge Elementary in Irvine on Thursday, Aug. 22, got to meet their new teachers — and a whole new school. Loma Ridge, the second elementary school to serve the Portola Springs neighborhood, opened to 255 students. The 59,000-square-foot campus features a media center, collaboration spaces, dedicated music classrooms and outdoor learning areas. The school is open to students in kindergarten through fourth grades, with plans to add a grade each of the next two years.

A new high school will have sleek classrooms — and places to hide from a mass shooter |
|
Engineers in World War I dug through the earth to build serpentine trenches borne from horrifically clear logic. If enemy soldiers ever breached it, the zigzagging pattern would prevent them from shooting in a straight line down the length of the trench — leaving only a relative few exposed to gunfire or shrapnel. That concept has been reinvigorated a century later, in a sense, for a western Michigan high school, to dampen the killing potential of a mass shooter.

Survey: One-third of Santa Clara County high schoolers tried vaping |
|
Almost one-third of high school students in Santa Clara County have tried vaping, according to a new county survey, and about 13 percent reported they currently use e-cigarettes. That’s a major jump from a 2015 survey, which found 18 percent of middle and high school students in the county tried vaping at least once in their lifetime and 6 percent reported using e-cigarettes. In contrast with the steady decline of cigarette smoking over the past decade, the trend of vaping has risen among teenagers nationwide, growing by 78 percent, from 11.7 percent in 2017 to 20.8 percent in 2018, according to a survey funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration.
