📰 News we're reading

• Poway deputies say elementary school student created video with violent images (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Poway parents should know deputies investigated a student-made video with violent imagery at Garden Road Elementary and say there is no current threat to the campus. Investigators believe the student acted alone, and officials are urging students and families to report any future concerns directly to school resource deputies or through anonymous tip lines.
   

• South County Report: Big Changes in Chula Vista Elementary Schools (voiceofsandiego.org) — Poway Unified gets a brief mention as one of several San Diego County districts that have adopted stricter closed-campus policies limiting when parents can enter school grounds. The main focus is on Chula Vista Elementary’s newly approved version of that policy, its looming $5 million in budget cuts, and the quiet departure of a top HR official after an investigation into hiring practices.
