District Approves Resolutions To Promote Living

From PVUSD: PVUSD is pleased to share with our community two important resolutions that highlight the District's determination to support our families and create better living, working and learning environments:

Resolution #18-19-11 - Anti-Bullying With a vote of 6-0-1, and on time to begin the National Bullying Prevention Month, Trustees approved this resolution and were pleased to introduce it on September 26, the national (and worldwide) Character Day. Everyday PVUSD staff work to ensure our students and staff have a positive experience. Dr. Michelle Rodriguez, Superintendent, states “this resolution focuses on activities for students and staff intended to deter bullying behavior and promote kindness.

In addition, PVUSD is proud to promote the anti-bullying campaign, ‘Be a Kinder, More Empathetic You!’ throughout the District, throughout the year, and it is meant to bring about an atmosphere of zero tolerance for bullying behavior.”

Resolution #18-19-12 - Support of Measure H, the Santa Cruz County Housing Solutions Bond
With a vote of 5/1/1, this resolution was approved. The high cost of housing is a critical issue in our community and our families are affected. This resolution supports Measure H, meant to explore ways in which the county can create affordable housing opportunities for local residents as well as secure funds to address homelessness in our County. Vice President of the Board, Maria Orozco, expressed her strong support for this resolution noting that, “Student performance is affected when students do not have adequate spaces to study at home. As a district, it is critical that we take local action and support this measure to address homelessness and the high cost of living in the county which directly impacts student learning.”

These two resolutions are attached for your information.
