Latino and Spanish-speakingparents looking for a place to con-gregate aside from traditionalschool groups have a new, district-recognized organization to callhome: Padres, Estudiantes yMaestros Asociacion (PEMA).
The Santa Monica MalibuUnified School District formallyrecognized PEMA as an independ-ent parent group at the Thursday,September 6 board meeting.
PEMA’s mission is to “provideinformation and resources toLatino parents and families and toempower them to become involvedin the education of their children;with the ultimate goal to have apositive outcome on LatinoStudent achievement at SAMOHI.”

The City Council is poised torecruit a team of experts to advisethe city on how to adapt to eco-nomic headwinds brought on byrapidly evolving technologies likeartificial intelligence, autonomouscars and online shopping Tuesday.
Internet use has already hit thecity’s bottom line: total taxable salesfell on the Third Street Promenadeby 2.9 percent and at Santa MonicaPlace by 4.5 percent in 2017 due atleast in part to online shopping.Parking revenue from the city’sgarages also fell as more shopperseither stayed home or got aroundwithout a personal car.
The Council will consider issu-ing a Request for Proposal (RFP)to private companies, nonprofitsand schools to create a partnership“that could provide services andwork products that are tailored tothe City’s needs,” according to astaff report prepared by manage-ment fellow Julie Wedig.
“The City and community must
now determine how to preserveSanta Monica’s unique assets whileadapting to rapid changes affectingthe economy on a local and globallevel,” the report said.
The potential RFP comes a yearafter the Council urged city staff totake a broad look at the impacts ofglobalization, declining retail salesand evolving transportation
trends on the city. After a few pan-els and roundtable discussions,city staff identified three keytransformational trends: artificialintelligence, customization andconnectivity. All three trends ledto the so-called “retail apocalypse,”for example, as shoppers use the

In the first eight months of this year, a group oflocal high school girls have created a social net-working app valued at $1 million with more invest-ment on the horizon. While the company rapidlyachieved a seven figure valuation, it didn’t start as amoney-making venture.
Upon learning that roughly 40 percent of trans-gender people have attempted to commit suicide,the girls decided to take action. Their response wasThe Trill Project, an app that has been downloadedapproximately 15,000 times and has accumulatedmore than 20,000 posts since its launch in June.The corporation is currently valued at $1 million.
Trill is an anonymous social networking appli-cation. Originally created as a vehicle for membersof the LGBTQ+ community and allies to freelyexpress themselves, Trill sees itself as a novel plat-form for social media interaction.
“Trill takes the best parts of what it’s like in asocial network to form connections with peopleand have friendships and talk to your peers, butalso integrates professional support,” said GeorgiaMessinger, Trill’s Chief Operating Officer and ChiefMarketing Officer.

SUBMITTED BY GRACE SMITHMalibuButterfly Release Fundraiser Event
On Sunday, November 4, from 2 – 4 p.m., The Emily Shane Foundation’s Fourth AnnualButterfly Release Fundraiser Event will take place at Alumni Park, located on thePepperdine University campus in Malibu.
This event is an opportunity for organizers to honor the mentors/tutors of theFoundation’s flagship SEA (Successful Educational Achievement) Program, as well as thementors and role models in all lives. Just like the caterpillar is transformed into a beau-tiful butterfly, through their SEA Program they work to transform disadvantaged middleschool children who are at risk of failing to soar to improved academic heights.
The event will feature live musical entertainment by singer/composer Robin Hildaccompanied by saxophonist Perry Gentile as well as the talented Lizzie LeBleu, aNashville-born, California-based singer/songwriter, and a Pepperdine student. Lizzie isknown for her soulful mix of feel-good folk with a touch of spunk. Guests can visit theSilent Auction, a Children’s Activity Table with arts and crafts, and a Mentor TributeTable. In addition, a butterfly education table will be hosted by the Malibu MonarchProject and The City of Malibu will host its own informational table related to sustainabil-ity and the environment. The Grilled Cheese Truck will be there.
The Emily Shane Foundation’s SEA (Successful Educational Achievement) Programprovides individualized, intensive mentoring/tutoring to struggling/failing middle schoolstudents in the mainstream classroom. SEA students are those who risk “falling throughthe cracks” and who could not otherwise afford this much needed after-school support.
The only “cost” to SEA student participants is to perform a good deed for every men-toring session they receive, in the spirit of our Foundation’s motto - “Pass it Forward”.They encourage the sponsorship of the butterflies at $10 per butterfly to help providementoring/tutoring support to the disadvantaged children they serve.
The Emily Shane Foundation was created in memory of 13- year old Emily Shane whowas tragically murdered on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on April 3, 2010. TheFoundation honors her memory by helping those who need extra help academically,something she herself struggled with during her life.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
tags on such topics as “lgbtq+” or “friends”to track posts about a particular topic. Userscan also join a smaller Community withpeople who share similar interests or tags.
Rather than allowing users to pick his/herown username, Trill seeks to preserveanonymity by assigning usernames based offthe one of 15 colors selected by each person.
“If you can make something cool likeSnapchat or Instagram that people want togo on every day because it's fun and there aregames ... but you can also get professionalsupport and have moderators on-hand, thenyou basically get rid of all the negative stuffthat anonymous social networks have fos-tered,” 18-years-old Messinger, said.
Messinger is a National Center forWomen & Information Technology nationalawardee.
The app is scheduled to re-launch on Sept.10, World Suicide Prevention Day, with aplethora of new user profile colors, includingnew yellows, blues, and purples. The new iter-ation will also feature a user support score toquantify contributions to the Trill communi-ty, a mechanism for offering complimentsand a mood meter to measure feelings.
The Trill Project was one of five teamsselected from over 1,000 applicants toreceive funding from Founders Bootcamp,
an accelerator for high school students’startups. Trill received $50,000 in exchangefor a five percent stake in the company.
Founder Roger Kassebaum beganFounders Bootcamp with his former student,Managing Partner Richard Dahan, with thegoal of empowering and aiding young entre-preneurs. Kassebaum facilitates connectionsand mentorships between the high schoolersand experienced professional mentors.
Messinger, now a freshman at HarvardUniversity, and 17-year-old Ariana Sokolov,Trill’s Chief Executive Officer and a fresh-man at the University of SouthernCalifornia, worked throughout the summerwith the four other Founders Bootcampteams at Cross Campus, a Santa Monicacoworking office space on ColoradoBoulevard. Their days typically consisted ofmorning workshops and evening guestspeakers. Messinger said the teams some-times stayed until 3 a.m. working.
The five teams pitched their startups tothe Tech Coast Angels, the largest LA angelinvestment group, in August. TCA membersoffered critiques, advice and encourage-ment, according to Kassebaum.
Trill was first conceived in January as partof the annual Technovation challenge to createan app that tackles an issue important to one’scommunity. The idea for Trill garnered wide-spread support. The team received hundredsof responses to an Instagram question “Whatwould you tell if nobody knew you were
telling it?” and over 10,000 people reblogged aTumblr post discussing the proposed app.
Sokolov said users have praised the proj-ect for paying attention to an underservedcommunity.
Sokolov, who began coding at 8-years-old, is a two-time winner of the ArizonaCongressional App Challenge and a three-time winner of a scholarship to Apple’sWorldwide Developers Conference. She saiduser safety is her biggest priority.
Other anonymous apps like Yik Yak,Whisper and After School fall into the trap ofmarketing themselves with gossip, accordingto Messinger. Trill Project, however, is“branded completely differently,” she said.
Trill uses volunteer moderators to reviewposts and watch for indications that a usermay be harming his/herself, harming some-one else, or is being harmed. Trill currentlyhas about 50 moderators, all of whom applyfor the position and receive training to facil-itate conversations. If a user cyberbulliessomeone else, Trill removes their accountand blocks that IP address from creatinganother profile.
Because the app is anonymous, modera-tors are not able to get into direct contactwith users, but they can attach trigger warn-ings to posts that contain serious mentalhealth concerns like suicide and commenton posts with links and phone numbers foremergency resources such as the NationalHopeline Network; the Rape, Abuse & Incest
National Network; nearby medical facilitiesand more.
“I’d like to think that people whowould not have been getting supportbefore are getting support,” said 17-year-old Lucas Gelfond, Trill Director ofModerators and TEEN LINE listener. “Ireally do believe that it’s having animpact, and that’s inspiring.”
Trill also employs machine learningalgorithms that study moderators’ behav-iors and will be able to sort through postsmore efficiently in the future. Messingersaid the algorithms could potentially belicensed to other companies to identifypeople in crisis.
“I think their algorithms and the profes-sional help they have online can help somepeople during those weak moments andmake them a lot healthier and happier,” saidKassebaum, who taught high school sciencefor around 40 years prior to startingFounders Bootcamp. “If they can save somelives, that’s incredible.”
Trill and the other Founders Bootcampstartups will pitch their ideas to SiliconValley venture capitalists on Oct. 24 to raisea seed round of funding. The corporationhopes to reach 100,000 users by that time.

Citywide SMMUSD Receives Highest Credit Rating from One Agency, an Upgrade from Another
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District recently had their ‘AAA’ ratingaffirmed from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) for the second consecutive year (thehighest rating assigned by Moody’s), and received an upgraded rating from S & P Globalto ‘AA+,’ on existing general obligation bonds. Taxpayers will save close to $10 million overthe life of the bonds through lower borrowing costs associated with high ratings.
“We are so pleased to receive the strong ratings from both Moody’s and S & P,” SchoolBoard President Dr. Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein said. “S & P highlighted the district’sgood management practices, and they were impressed with our long-term financial plan-ning. It’s great to hear from the credit agencies that we are doing a good job.”
The S & P report states, “The positive rating action reflects our view of the district'srecent transition to basic-aid status, whereby it is less reliant on volatile state revenue,and a tax base that grew by half over the past decade.”
THE S & P RATING ALSO REFLECTS:■ Extremely strong and resilient local tax base, with very strong incomes, focused in oneof Southern California's main economic centers■ Substantial, diverse array of supplemental revenue streams not common to mostschool districts in the state, such as the ability to realize property tax revenue abovewhat is constitutionally allowed under the California funding formula■ Good financial management practicesMoody’s included in their rationale the following strengths:■ exceptionally large, diverse, and growing tax base with high resident wealth levels■ very strong financial position bolstered by increasing local revenues and its recenttransition into Community Funded (Basic Aid) status■ average debt burden, manageable pension and OPEB liabilities, and conservativemanagement
The district’s ratings were updated as part of its successful $120 million Measure ESgeneral obligation bond issuance last week to fund planned modernization projects inSanta Monica and Malibu schools. “We are very pleased with the investor response to theSMMUSD sale,” municipal advisor to the district Jon Isom of Isom Advisors said.
The district’s senior managing banker at Raymond James John R. Baracy also com-mented, “We were able to successfully pre-market this transaction and garner $700 mil-lion in orders for the $120 million of general obligation bonds offered. The district wasable to see almost a 10 basis point reduction in interest rates from the pre-pricing dis-cussion to the final sale.”
The SMMUSD Board of Education has approved a school improvement funding meas-ure to be placed on November 2018 ballots, with a $485 million bond for Santa Monicaschools and $195 million bond for Malibu schools. Learn more about school repairs andupgrades needed to meet 21st-century education standards.
“We are thrilled with the results of the rating meetings and the upgrade from S & P,”Superintendent Dr. Ben Drati said. “Especially knowing that the upgrade could save tax-payers up to $10 million.”

“Malibu has leveraged years of careful fiscal management to take advantage of a rareopportunity to acquire such valuable and desirable open space in California’s coastalregion,” said Mayor Rick Mullen. “This land was commercially zoned, and by purchasingit, we can ensure it will never become a shopping mall or an office building, but insteadwill benefit the community in perpetuity.”
City Attorney Christi Hogin helped negotiate the deal and commented, “this is anexciting and consequential event in the history of Malibu. Owning this property opens upa world of possibilities for the community.”
On July 9, the Council approved the purchase agreement and authorized the issuanceof Certificates of Participation (COPs) to fund a portion of the acquisition. The COPs wereissued in August with a top credit rating from S&P Global Ratings (S&P).
The City’s strong financial position has enabled Malibu to take advantage of this unex-pected opportunity. Malibu’s long history of responsible and conservative fiscal manage-ment of public funds has resulted in an AA+ long-term rating for the COPs from S&P andan issuer credit rating of AAA, the highest rating possible for a city.
The City made the purchase with a combination of Undesignated General FundReserves, Designated General Fund Reserves, Los Angeles County Measure R and Mfunding and through the issuance of COPs. A portion of the lands will be developed fortransportation or parking uses consistent with the guidelines for Los Angeles CountyMeasure R and Measure M funds.
The purchase includes 9.65 acres located at 23575 Civic Center Way; 1.11 acres locat-ed at Civic Center Way and Webb Way; and purchase of 18.48 acres located at PacificCoast Highway and Heathercliff Road. Potential land uses will be thoroughly exploredand discussed in a robust and transparent process which will be developed in the comingmonths based on feedback from the community.

CitywideSMC Appoints Jennifer Merlic Vice President of Academic Affairs
Santa Monica College (SMC) announced the appointment of Dr. Jennifer Merlic as thecollege’s new Vice President of Academic Affairs, effective today. The SMC Board ofTrustees unanimously approved Dr. Merlic’s appointment—following a recommendationmade by SMC Superintendent/President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery—at their Sept. 4 meeting.The role of SMC’s chief instructional officer was left vacant after former VP of AcademicAffairs Dr. Georgia Lorenz became the third president of Seminole State College ofFlorida in August.
Under the direction of Superintendent/President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery, Dr. Merlic willprovide leadership and oversight for SMC’s instructional programs and services. Herportfolio encompasses online and traditional “on-ground” academic programs, degrees,and certificates (both transfer and career education); noncredit instruction including theEmeritus Program for older adults; and not-for-college-credit professional development,personal enrichment, and workforce training offerings through the SMC Office ofWorkforce & Economic Development. She will also oversee academic support servicessuch as the college library, tutoring, and computer labs.
“Dr. Merlic’s leadership experience is truly expansive and has prepared her to advanceSanta Monica College’s mission of open access and a superior teaching-learning experi-ence, with a clear focus on ensuring the success of every SMC student,” said Dr. KathrynE. Jeffery. “Over two decades, she displayed outstanding leadership skills in roles as aprofessor and faculty leader/administrator, which led to vital advancements for SMC: inSTEM, the creation of a more efficient technology structure, and a first-ever baccalaure-ate program in interaction design. She has also helped guide SMC’s efforts in redesign-ing the student experience, to reduce the equity gap.”
Dr. Jeffery added “the attention to detail and a deep knowledge of SMC’s core missionwhich Dr. Jennifer Merlic has already displayed and the collaborative relationships shehas cultivated will help inspire and set new directions for the college.”
Dr. Jennifer Merlic first began working at SMC as a full-time chemistry professor in1991. In subsequent years, she progressed to leadership roles as Director of AcademicComputing, Director of Tech Training & Research, Chair of the SMC Physical Sciencedepartment, and Chair of the Academic Senate Department Chairs Committee. In 2014,she was appointed Dean of Instructional Services, overseeing 23 instructional depart-ments and their chairs (with over 1,100 full-time and part-time faculty reporting). Herresponsibilities included developing SMC’s annual academic plan of more than 7,500classes (15 percent of which are delivered online).
While she was Dean of Instructional Services, Dr. Merlic authored the proposal forSMC’s Bachelor of Science degree in Interaction Design. In January 2015, SMC wasselected by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors to be among the first15 community colleges in the state to offer a four-year degree. Dr. Merlic provided admin-istrative leadership in the implementation of the degree program; the first cohort grad-uated this June.
Dr. Merlic’s achievements in previous leadership roles included helping createSMC’s STEM Science and Research Initiative—in partnership with UCLA—supported bya $6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to increase the number ofHispanic and low-income students transferring to four-year STEM programs. She alsohelped develop a streamlined, online “program review” process for the college’sdepartments and operational areas; served as the project co-director for thestatewide Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MER-LOT); and directed the “Virtual Office Hours” project, which was SMC’s first onlinesupplement to traditional office hours. Dr. Merlic also supervised the developmentand implementation of online and live training as training director for the CaliforniaVirtual Campus Professional Development Center, a partnership between El CaminoCollege and SMC, funded by a $2.4 million state grant.
As a professor, Dr. Merlic taught general chemistry and introductory chemistrycourses, in addition to developing and updating chemistry curriculum from 1991 to2014. She was previously also a visiting professor of chemistry at UCLA. She has co-authored articles in several leading scientific journals, covering a variety of topicsrelated to laser spectroscopy – the use of lasers to study the structure and behaviorof molecules.
Dr. Merlic holds a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science in Physical Chemistryfrom Princeton University; she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from SmithCollege (she graduated Cum Laude with High Honors in Chemistry). An avid hiker andanimal lover, Dr. Merlic and her husband Craig A. Merlic—who is a Professor of Chemistryat UCLA— have two sons, Kyle and Aidan.

“Demand for delivery trips will growexponentially, making it ever more impor-tant to determine how goods get to andthrough the community safely, sustainably,and efficiently,” the report said.
As more deliveries test the city’s infrastruc-ture, declining brick-and-mortar sales havehit Downtown Santa Monica, increasing thenumber of vacancies. Downtown SantaMonica, Inc. is encouraging landlords to finda balanced mix of uses to replace retailers whohave closed up shop and plans to promotenew businesses that differentiate downtownfrom other destinations around Los Angeles.
Climate change could also impact the city
through worsening drought conditions andsea-level rise, according to the report.
Ride-share companies and driverless carscould mean fewer people will own their carsin the future, but it could also lead to grid-lock as vehicles spend hours circling down-town, picking up passengers. The staff reportsaid cities will need to adopt new policies toavoid the projected increase in congestionand greenhouse gas emissions, while pro-moting equitable access.
Finally, the staff report warned comput-ers and robots will mean responsive educa-tion and job training will be vital to SantaMonica’s workforce.
The City Council will consider the RFPTuesday, Sept. 11, at their regularly sched-uled meeting inside City Council Chambers,1685 Main Street, Room 213.
pendent group is now official after unani-mous approval from the school board.
“SAMOHI Latino PEMA would like tothank every SMMUSD board member fortheir unanimous approval of our applica-tion,” Dr. Berenice Onofre, founder ofPEMA said in an emailed statement. “LatinoPEMA looks forward to working collabora-tively and in partnership with SAMOHI anddistrict administration & staff to have a pos-itive impact towards accomplishing equityin parent engagement at SMMUSD.”
The school board was enthusiastic about theapproval, excited for more parent engagement.
Board member Ralph Mechur says he feltPEMA members seemed “dedicated toworking with our community,” saying hehopes engagement of Latino families risesand that he hopes PEMA is a “great success.”
Maria Leon-Vazquez echoed Mechur’ssentiments, saying the group is “much-need-ed” in a time where the district is attemptingto create more family engagement.
She questioned the group’s 501c3 desig-nation, which Superintendent Dr. Drati saidwas due to the group being independentfrom the district, providing PEMA an optionof fundraising, if the group wishes to.
When reached for comment, Onofresaid the group may do small fundraisers, ifnecessary.
While the board was warm to the adop-tion of PEMA, one public speaker was not.
Lupe Ibarra, Chair of the Samohi ParentTeacher Student Association (PTSA) andPresident of the District English LearnersAdvisory Committee (DELAC), said she felta Latino / Spanish-speaking parent groupwould create division within the district andit’s Latino community.
“We have the PTSA, it’s the parent sup-port group for all of us,” Ibarra said. “I feel
like we’re separating ourselves and self-seg-regating. Parents need a Spanish group thatthey can get an education from, they don’tneed a group that needs to raise funds … Idon't feel it’s needed. I feel like we’re goingbackwards instead of forward.”
Ibarra further added that she felt PEMAwould “feed anger”, saying there’s “so manythings already” for parents. She said parentshave asked her why PEMA formed, answeringthat she doesn’t know why, but that everyoneshould get along— at PTSA meetings.
Oscar de la Torre pressed Ibarra on heraccusations of potential division.
“You’re President of DELAC, correct?Most of the members in that organization,are they Spanish-speaking? Majority of them?Is that self-segregation? Do you feel that typeof organization is a problem? Do you feel theAfrican American parent support group isalso a problem?” De la Torre asked.
“No, no, no,” Ibarra said. “I feel wealready have a big group with all — thePTSA. Just make it one [group] and come tothe meetings. We have a lot of educationworkshops, all that there. Why separate our-selves? We have a PTA already for everyone.I feel we should all be one family.”
De la Torre noted there’s roughly 900Latino students in the district, “which meansthere must be around 1800 parents,” and a15% drop-out rate among Latinos, makingmore engagement and groups necessary. Hecompared PEMA and the PTSA as SantaMonica and Malibu school districts, realiz-ing they can do better work separately whileworking for the same goals.
Board President Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein agreed.
“We’re all committed to closing theachievement gap,” he said. “Experience isn’tall the same for Latino parents and I too wel-come many groups. I hope people attendPEMA, other groups, and the PTA.”

Perceptions are like windows. Consider the housefly trying to get outside, bashing itself against the win-dow, not realizing that glass is both what inspires and what thwarts its attempt. Each person can only seeit "a" way, not "the" way. To challenge assumptions takes advanced thinking and superior character. Marsin Aquarius offers the challenge.
Mars-in-Aquarius Challenge
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Framing the truth is a social skill. As it is withall framing, there are decisions to be madeabout the positioning. Cropping is an option,and it's one you should strongly consider today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)We are all stuck inside ourselves, though someseem more stuck than others. Empathy isn'tjust a virtue for better souls; it's also a ticketto living more lives than just the one that welive from behind our own eyeballs.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)There are sunk costs to consider — money, timeand energy you'll never get back. Recall themand say one last goodbye. Those sunk costsare a thing of the past and have no bearing onyour next step into the future.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)Though basic daily occurrences seem to havespecial meaning when you're with someoneyou love, this does not happen because you'rewith someone you love. Appreciate your ownpart in the experience.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Trust is a commodity. People who are entrust-ed are able to do and experience things thatdistrusted people cannot. Trust that is freelygiven won't buy much, though earned trust canopen entire worlds.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You'll become sensitive to another person'stendencies and rhythms and be able to predictthis person's next move — a form of love, real-ly, as it requires a certain quality of attentionto figure out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)As your guiding planet, Venus, communicatesfreely today, so will you. This communicationisn't restricted to loved ones or even humans.You'll be in kinship with animals, rocks, eventhe sky.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Sociology teaches us that lying is innate.Animals evolve to deceive predators. Sign lan-guage-trained gorillas tell fibs, as do toddlers.Today you'll hear lies of little consequence, thesort you'd be gracious to ignore.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)It is said that each person is a world. Thoughyou do enjoy tourism, you'll spend the mosttime with those whose worlds you understandand relate to. Bonds will be built in realitiesthat are shared, not imposed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Protect your solitude. If you're with evenone other person, you won't be completelyyourself. Alone, you'll have a sense of spir-itual stillness that allows you to get a bet-ter feel for what is really worth doing atthis time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)It's challenging to save money when there areso many things you need and want. Yourincreased interests and appetites make this agood time to explore a side business.

LOS ANGELESPolice lieutenant to plead to illegal sale of 100-plus guns
Prosecutors say a former Southern California police lieutenant who also acted as adepartment spokesman has agreed to plead guilty to illegally selling more than 100 guns.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said Friday that former Pasadena Police Lt. VaskenGourdikian has signed an agreement with prosecutors to plead guilty on Sept. 20 to deal-ing in firearms without a license and lying during a gun purchase.
Prosecutors say Gourdikian used his job to get around California's strict gun laws toresell at least 108 guns between 2014 and 2017.
As an officer, they say Gourdikian was able to buy so-called "off-roster" handguns,which aren't available to the public and aren't listed in a catalog of certified handgunsmaintained by the state.
Gourdikian resigned in March after a 22-year career.His attorney didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday but
has previously said the charges were "misguided and truly an abuse of the supposed dis-cretion of the government."
ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELESLA marks Attendance Matters Day to bring students back
Members of the Los Angeles Unified School District are knocking on doors of studentswho have stopped attending classes, expecting to bring both students and millions ofdollars back to school.
Superintendent Austin Beutner visited chronically absent students' homes Friday as
part of the Attendance Matters Day, when the nation's second-largest school districtconducts home visits, phone banking and community canvassing.
The district loses state funding for each day a student is absent. In the 2016-17 school year,more than 80,000 students, or 14.3 percent of the student population, were chronically absent.
LAUSD says more than 5,000 students have returned to school since the first coor-dinated effort began 10 years ago.
The district combats absences by sending postcards, calling parents, giving atten-dance improvement rewards, and using other incentives.
ASSOCIATED PRESSGLENDALEFentanyl suspected in 4 Southern California overdoses
Police say four men in Southern California were taken to a hospital after possiblyoverdosing on the powerful drug Fentanyl.
Glendale Fire Department paramedics responded to a residence Thursday and foundfour men who showed signs of an overdose.
The four were taken to a local hospital. Two were treated and released and two werehospitalized in stable condition. Their names were not released.
Police say the men likely overdosed on Fentanyl, but doctors are waiting for tests toconfirm that.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid painkiller that is 50 to 100 times more potentthan morphine. It is a prescription drug typically used to treat patients with severe pain.
There were no arrests, and it is unclear if the men would face any criminal charges.ASSOCIATED PRESS
