Bike Riders
According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) §27400, cyclists aren't allowed to wear headphones or earbuds in both ears. In fact, all motorists are barred from wearing headphones on both ears under this law. Cyclists can, however, legally wear a headphone/earbud in one ear. It is UNSAFE because you can’t hear as well with earbuds in your ears. We do not allow bike riding on the path as it’s not safe for the pedestrians. There are “right of way” stated in the law and pedestrians (people walking) have the right away. On Wednesday’s, it’s extremely unsafe with both POCS and Jack London students walking the path. If you are under the age of 18, helmets must be worn when you are riding your bike, and you may only ride your bike to school if you attended the safety meeting.


Neighborhood: Just a friendly reminder to be courteous and respectful as you are walking to and from school or waiting on the corner of Delamere for your parents to pick you up. Our neighbors live in these homes, and some of your friends as well. PLEASE don’t sit in their yard, walk on their lawn or throw trash on the ground.  

       “No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are. How you treat people ultimately tells all.”  
Piner-Olivet Union School District School Board
General Expectations and Guidelines:
To ensure compliance with the Brown Act, Board members will not communicate the content of these meetings to other Board members, but will report out to the Board as a whole during a new portion of the agenda for just this report during a duly agendized Board meeting.
The Board asks that the public will be mindful that action can only be taken through a majority vote of  its members in a duly agendized Board meeting. Therefore, statements made by individual Board members only represent the view of that Board member, and not the Governance Team as whole. Likewise, statements or information provided to individual Board members are also only made to the individual Board member, and not to the Board as a whole.
Additionally, the Board asks that all participants of these office hour sessions understand that all personnel matters are confidential. All participants are expected to respect confidentiality; the School Board member cannot comment, nor offer their individual opinion, on such matters. Any individual Board member’s lack of response or silence should not be treated as indication of any particular position on the matter.
The community will not submit individual-specific grievances, rather all comments and input should be made using generic – non-specific language so as to bring issues to light without exposing, disclosing or calling attention any single person/student/staff.
Every effort will be made by all participants to adhere to authentic, public appropriate communication while engaging.

We are excited to have this new way to hear from the POUSD community and look forward to office hours at a site near you soon!

Litigation Against the California Department of Education to Access Student Records
A federal judge has ordered the California Department of Education (CDE) to disclose personal student information– including documents and data dating back to 2008–to the plaintiffs who initiated an ongoing lawsuit against the state agency. The court allows parents or students to file an objection. To find out how to "opt-out," please click on this link from the CDE website with information about the litigation.

The Sonoma County Office of Education has prepared an announcement with more information about the case and what it means for local schools.
