Community Education Event on Opioid Use/Abuse
Wednesday, May 28, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - Piedmont High School Student Center, 800 Magnolia Avenue, Piedmont
April Rovero of the National Coalition of Prescription Drug Abuse and the Naloxone Distribution Project will join the Piedmont Unified School District Nurses for an important discussion regarding prescription/illicit drug use and abuse, fentanyl awareness, and how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. Overdose rescue training utilizing the opioid-antagonist naloxone will be provided, and free naloxone will be given to adults at the conclusion of the training.
All community members welcome: please bring your middle and high school students, and learn about the dangers of fentanyl and how to possibly save a life.
For more information, contact the PUSD Nurses at: nurses@piedmont.k12.ca.us.
Cell Phone Task Force Update
On March 12, the Board heard the presentation from the District's Cell Phone Task Force. The Board considered 3 options:
- Option 1: No PCD's during instructional time
- Option 2: No PCD's except at lunch
- Option 3: No PCD's bell-to-bell (all-day)
PCD: Personal Connect Device--any device that can send/receive data. This broadly includes, but is not limited to, cell phones, tablets, watches, glasses, and headphones/earbuds.
The Board provided direction to implement option 2 for the 2025-26 school year. The Board is also interested in movement towards Option 3 with continued discussion and follow-up next school year. The Cell Phone Task Force will reconvene in the fall to continue this important work.
The Board will adopt policy pursuant to this by June 30. The school will provide much more information as we develop guidelines, update handbooks, signage, and presentations to our student and parent community between now and the start of next school year.
Thank you to all the Task Force members who participated in the meetings and those that attended to the Board presentation.
