LA Chargers working to boost physical fitness among OC students |
|
The Los Angeles Chargers want to help more students in Orange County become physically fit. So they’re reaching out to campuses that might want to host mini “training camps” as part of the NFL PLAY 60 campaign. Charger representatives met this week at Orange County Department of Education headquarters with about 50 physical education teachers from throughout the county to explain how they could have their schools join the campaign, which encourages children to spend at least 60 minutes each day in physical activities. |

The pre-registration milestone, announced Tuesday by Secretary of State Alex Padilla during a news conference at Francis Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles, includes 100,000 registered voters who will be eligible to vote in the November election. |

Lead problems in water linger at Los Angeles schools, despite years of testing and repairs |
|
Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second-largest district, has spent more than $30 million on lead testing and water system repairs over the last decade with the approval of county health authorities. Yet the district took limited action to remove lead-contaminated fixtures from its schools and its practices fall short of what many experts on the toxic metal say should be done to protect children. |
