News story 2

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is meeting with principal Olympia Rainer on April 28 to discuss whether or not to put a cell phone jammer into the school. However, they need Federal  Communication Commission’s (FCC) approval, For now, they lack the FCC’s approval.

“Several school districts have inquired about jamner approval,” Sorno said. “It would be good to have a few districts run a short test period.”

The jammer will cost the district approximately $4,000, and the school has the funds to purchase the jammer, and the district will likely get a one-month approval.

“I am listen if anyone has any better ideas,” Rainer said. “I am out of ideas. I am meeting with members of the PTA next week. Perhaps they will have a better idea, but so far I haven’t heard a solid alternate solution.”

The assistant principal works at least one cell phone referral a day, and students are suspended after the third cell phone referral.

“Principal Rainer is frustrated and rightfully so,” PTA president Gayle Chen said. “The students are ignoring the rules. We don’t have to go to such drastic measures as a cell phone jammer but we do need a solution.”

350 students have had discipline referrals regarding cell phone use this year. The cell phone use has gotten out of control. From either taking up too much time in class or texting answers to each other on a test.

“Instead of trying to restrict us more, why doesn’t the administration lighten up?” Junior Tara Dominguez said, “If students could use their cell phones during lunch or passing periods, we wouldn’t have to use them in class. I bet that would solve the problem.”

The new jammer would prevent cell phone use from 8:15 a.m-3:45 p.m, and it affects all students and all employees.

“It would definitely be an inconvenience for teachers to lose their cell phones during the day,” Science teacher Pauleen Petals said. “But the inconvenience might be worth it…Cell phone use has gotten out of control.”

Principal Rainer will meet with the PTA on Monday April,26 to discuss the funds of the cell phone jammer and if who feels comfortable with it.

“We made the request so we could be ready,” District Lawyer, Ted Grngot said. “If the district moves forward with this proposal, we would like to test the jammer out for a month before we request full approval. We have no idea how effective a jammer would be for the possible repercussions.”

After principal Tonya King denied junior Jim Stack’s request to grow his hair out for the organization Locks of Love, the school board will meet and vote this Monday.

 “Had I approved Jim’s request, then I would have students every day asking if they could also break the dress code,” King said. “We have rules for a reason we can’t go breaking them anytime we want.”

 The school dress code states that male students’ hair must be no longer than collar length and must be of natural color. Student council wrote a letter to the school board regarding this issue, 300 students signed the letter, and 150 students were willing to grow their hair out, 78 of these students were guys.

 “I don’t see what the big deal is anyway,” student council president Gilbert Castillo said. “Girls have long hair, and no one is distracted. Rules were made to be broken, and this is a very good reason to break one.”

 King suggested to raise money instead.

 “He could have a fundraiser and donate money to the organization,” King said. “I would be more than willing to help with the fundraiser.

 Stack had a conversation on the phone with Locks of Love president Gisel Roco, and it was clear they needed hair. The charity receives about 200 requests every month for wigs for sick children, and they have to turn down about 150.

 “We desperately need human hair for our wigs.” Roco said.

 Locks of Love wrote a letter to the school board saying that Stack had applied to be a donor and had his parents’ permission. The school board will discuss the issue Monday.

 “I can’t comment on this issue right now,” school board president Bill Valdez said. “We will discuss it at the board meeting.”

“Out, Out!”

In the poem “Out, Out!” by Robert Frost a young boy is working at a saw mill, and when his sister calls for him the saw cuts his hand off and he bleeds to death and passes away. Robert Frost makes the title an allusion. The title relates to one of Shakespeare’s plays, and it represents that life is short.
