MEDIA ADVISORY: San Diego Unified Addresses Concerns Regarding New Public Charge Rule

 

 

 

 

Friday, August 30, 2019

 

*Spanish Version of Media Advisory attached

MEDIA ADVISORY: San Diego Unified Encourages Families to Continue With Free and Reduced Lunch Amid Concerns Over New Public Charge Rule

WHAT:  The San Diego Unified School District will hold a press conference to encourage families to continue to apply for federally subsidized meals under the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, which are available to students regardless of their citizenship status.  San Diego Unified will deliver a message of unity to help ease fears and confusion stemming from the recent changes to the Public Charge Inadmissibility Rule. Superintendent Cindy Marten will be joined by school board members, San Diego Unified Food and Nutrition Services Director Gary Petill, and representatives from the Hunger Coalition, and San Diego Food Bank to speak about the implications of the new Public Charge Rule, and potential consequences to student health and nutrition.       

 

WHEN:  Wednesday, September 4, 2:30 p.m.

WHERE: Eugene Brucker Education Center flag pole, 4100 Normal Street, San Diego, CA 92103.

Background:  In August 2019, the Department of Homeland Security announced a final Public Charge Inadmissibility Rule used to determine an individual’s likelihood of becoming a public charge (an individual who may rely on public benefits).  The new rule includes previously excluded programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).   Individuals participating in the SNAP program can be denied permanent residences in the U.S. (green card).  Changes to the Public Charge go into effect October 2019.

 

San Diego Unified’s Food and Nutrition Services serves 101,341 healthy school meals and snacks at no cost to 80,764 students, per day. To learn more about the district’s Food and Nutrition Services or to apply for federally subsidized meals, please visit https://www.sandiegounified.org/food-nutrition-services

 

CONTACT:  Maureen Magee, Communications Director, (619) 381-7930.

NEWS RELEASE From San Diego Unified School District

 

NEWS RELEASE
Immediate Release                

                                  

San Diego Unified Kicks off 2019-2020 School Year with Student Wellness at the Forefront: Healthy Start Times and New Healthy Plant-Based Menu Options 

 

SAN DIEGO (August 26, 2019) – More than 100,000 students and some 13,000 teachers and support staff members returned to the San Diego Unified School District Monday morning to kick off the new school year.

Superintendent Cindy Marten, School Board President Dr. Sharon Whitehurst-Payne, and School Board Vice President Dr. John Lee Evans welcomed students back at the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA), which is among three campuses in the district to offer an early implementation of San Diego Unified’s new Healthy Start Times.

SCPA, La Jolla High School, and Muirlands Middle School will start school at 8:35 a.m. this year. Next year, all high schools will begin between 8:35 a.m. and 9:05 a.m. under the Healthy Start Times.

“Students do better when they get more sleep, and starting later will allow our students to arrive rested and ready to succeed. That is going to take their academic achievement to the next level,” Marten said.

The district’s implementation of Healthy Start Times is part of its broader commitment to the overall health and wellness of students. Starting school later in the morning has been shown to be the single best way to address adolescent sleep deprivation and its associated health and public-safety risks.

  

Junior Mckenna from SCPA was not complaining Monday morning. “It’s a big change, it’s really nice,” she said. “I was always tired last year.”

 

Along with a healthier start time, students also kicked off the school year with new cafeteria menu items. In addition to Meatless Mondays and the healthy organic options already on the menu, this year all middle and high schools will offer  daily plant-based options.

“New this year, we are proud to offer a plant-based option every day of the week on our middle & high school menu, as well as a plant-based option as part of Meatless Mondays at our elementary schools. These plant-based options are a part of our commitment to student wellness and our way of reducing our carbon footprint,” said San Diego Unified’s Chef Juan Zamorano.

Parents can find out more information on the Healthy Start Times Initiative on the district’s website: https://www.sandiegounified.org/healthy-start-times

MEDIA ADVISORY: Celebrate the First Day of School with San Diego Unified

 




MEDIA ADVISORY                            

August 22, 2019         

 

Celebrate the First Day of School with San Diego Unified

 

WHAT: More than 100,000 students in the San Diego Unified School District will head back to school on Aug. 26. Join Superintendent Cindy Marten, school board members, school administrators, teachers, parents and students as we kick off the 2019-2020 school year. Please see the schedule below for details on speakers available on a variety of 2019-2020 back-to-school topics.

 

WHEN: Monday, August 26, 2019

 

WHERE: The School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) high school. Interviews and live shots of students arriving for the first day of school on the new Healthy Start Times schedule will be available.

 

5 a.m. – 10 a.m. – The SCPA high school, 2425 Dusk Dr., San Diego, CA 92139

 

COVERAGE MUST BE CONFIRMED PRIOR TO SCHOOL ARRIVAL




DETAILS: SCPA is among three district campuses to launch an early implementation of San Diego Unified's Healthy Start Times initiative this school year.

 

"Our students already rank among the highest in the nation when it comes to academic growth, so we are very excited to be launching the Healthy Start Times initiative this year at three schools, and at all high schools in the 2020-21 school year. As educators, we believe in science, and the science on sleep is clear," said Superintendent Cindy Marten. "Students do better when they get more sleep, and starting later will allow our students to arrive rested and ready to succeed."

 

The district's implementation of Healthy Start Times is part of its commitment to the overall health and wellness of students. Starting school later in the morning has been shown to be the single best way to address adolescent sleep deprivation and its associated health and public-safety risks. Earlier this year, the Board of Education approved a resolution to implement Healthy Start Times for all high school students in the 2020-21 academic year. Beginning that year, high school start times will vary anywhere from 8:35 a.m. to 9:05 a.m.

 

"Healthy Start Times will allow our students to take their academic achievement to the next level," Marten said. "So that means each year, more of our students will be graduating prepared for college and career, and that helps everyone. Better student outcomes make our city stronger, and it's one of the ways to live up to our goal of a Better San Diego."

 

Parents can find more information about the Healthy Start Times Initiative on the district's website: https://www.sandiegounified.org/healthy-start-times
