VIDEO: OCDE consortium leads tobacco prevention efforts with research, advocacy and support |
OCDE’s Tobacco-Use Prevention Education consortium uses state tobacco tax revenue to fund prevention efforts in eight participating districts. With vaping use on the rise among young people, the TUPE program takes a four-pronged approach that embeds prevention curricula into health, science and P.E. courses while also promoting student-led anti-tobacco initiatives, school-based intervention strategies and tobacco cessation services, which are offered in partnership with the Orange County Health Care Agency.

San Clemente High School confirms racial epithet, derogatory language used at football game |
An investigation by San Clemente High School confirmed that a racial slur was directed at a student from Lincoln High of San Diego and offensive comments were made in the San Clemente stands toward visiting fans and students when the two schools played a football game on Sept. 13 at San Clemente High School. A letter from San Clemente principal Chris Carter, which was sent Friday night to the Lincoln and San Clemente high school communities, said that “based on our extensive investigation, we were able to confirm that two individuals in the restroom used a racial epithet when addressing a Lincoln High School Student. In addition, statements we collected confirmed that derogatory words were heard in our bleachers.”

California education panel tackles ethnic studies curriculum. A revised draft is coming |
Dozens of teachers, activists, former officials and community members from all over California packed the California Department of Education on Friday to give their input on how the state should move forward with the ethnic studies curriculum.
The curriculum, which was shelved because of its controversy, was put back on the table this week after State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced Monday he supported a plan to revise the curriculum. The State Board of Education will vote on it in 2020.

Many California teens say they don’t know where to find, can’t afford mental health services. Here’s a list of them |
According to a study released this spring, many young Californians don’t know where to find mental health services and don’t think they can afford it if they could find it.
Earlier this year, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation, in partnership with California’s Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission, surveyed 485 Californians, ages 13 to 24, about mental health, access to mental health services, and what they’d like to see in that area in California. The resulting report, “California Youth Mental Health: Understanding Resource Availability and Preferences,” was released May 28.
