I am proud to join the with The Volunteer Center by authoring a State Resolution recognizing May as Mental Health Month. I commend the Volunteer Center staff and board for their focus on the mental health and wellness of our students as we face a crisis in our state and in the South Bay. In addition to authoring AB 272 to ensure we are thoughtful about student's smart phone use, my office has joined their newly-created Youth Suicide Prevention Task Force.
Thank you to Child 360, First 5 LA, LAUSD, and the Los Angeles County Office of Education for a tour of the Gardena Early Education Center. I have always made a world-class education for every student my top priority in Sacramento. I am committed to continuing the fight to ensure that students of every age have the resources they need to be successful. I am confident that if we continue to work together through creative partnerships and increased support from that state we will be able to provide every student the education they deserve.
AB 326 (Muratsuchi) responds to new technology advancements by allowing mobile carriers on sidewalks and crosswalks. This bill would allow for increased mobility for the elderly or those with disabilities and would also reduce vehicle trips by allowing these carriers to move heavy items.
I was honored to speak to the North Torrance High School JROTC at their annual Military Ball. It was so inspiring to see our next generation of leaders. I encouraged them to use the skills they develop in the JROTC as they continue on their educational and career paths. I know these students will serve others as they move forward in their lives. I also want to thank Command Sergeant Major Duran for his years of dedicated service. As he transitions out of this role I am very impressed by the indelible legacy he leaves at the Saxon Brigade.
