Fifteen Campus Safety Coordinators (CSCs) from Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) completed a three-day training session this week aimed at helping them work more effectively with law enforcement and emergency personnel, handle volatile situations at school better, and enforce school rules fairly and consistently with the least disruption to learning.

A new program to get local families more involved in their children’s education has drawn the attention of a leading education journal, which sent one of its senior editors here this week to do a story.

On September 30, 50 parent leaders gathered together to receive leadership training. They learned of the roles and responsibilities of parents on the School Site Council, the English Learners Advisory Committee and the Migrant Council. They also participated in workshops entitled “How to Conduct a Meeting” and “How to Make an Effective Presentation”. Principals and District staff also attended with their parents.

The California State Department of Education has recently informed all of the SELPAs in the state that they need to conduct a public hearing on their 2005-06 Annual Budget and Service Plans, adopt them and submit them to the Department prior to June 30, 2006.  This public hearing enables the Pajaro Valley Unified School District SELPA to comply with that instruction.
