Proposition X Citizens’ Oversight Committee to Fill Vacancy
South Bay Union School District seeks community representative

    The Sweetwater Union High School District Board of Trustees approved a revised board policy and regulation Thursday that prohibits any district sports team, associated student body organization, performing arts or booster group from charging fees for student participation.

    A recent lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has alleged that the state of California was failing to monitor school districts’ charging of fees in violation of the “free school guarantee.”

    City Hall was transformed into “Kiddie Hall” on Tuesday, May 3 as school children from throughout San Diego were honored for their creative expressions about water conservation through the City’s annual poster contest and to kick off “Water Awareness Month.” The City of San Diego is recognizing Water Awareness Month throughout May and is inviting San Diegans to learn more about water, tap into City resources and participate in a series of fun and educational events.
