MEDIA ADVISORY from the San Diego Unified School District, November 9, 2012
PACIFIC BEACH MIDDLE SCHOOL CELEBRATES ENERGY SAVINGS, LOOKS FOR BIG PRIZE
WHAT: Staff from SDG&E will be at Pacific Beach Middle School to rally
student leadership for a final push to win $10,000 in the San Diego Energy
Challenge.
WHEN/WHERE: 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012, Pacific Beach Middle School,
4676 Ingraham St. (92109). Media parking is available in lot accessed from
Felspar Street, near intersection with Ingraham Street.
DETAILS: As the SDG&E San Diego Energy Challenge comes to a close on Nov.
30, it's coming down to a very few schools. Staff from SDG&E will be at
Pacific Beach Middle School to meet with parents, students and campus
leaders to rally them up and encourage them to continue to save energy.
The Energy Challenge invited San Diegans to save energy and at the same
time support middle schools in the San Diego Unified School District. The
school with the most energy saved by those who have registered gets a
$10,000 grant.
PHOTOS/INTERVIEWS: No formal news conference is planned. SDG&E staff is
scheduled to bring a Nissan Leaf electric car and one of the company's
experts to give students a hands-on look at cutting edge technology. The
school's student body president and principal will be presenting SDG&E
officials with a "wish list" of materials they could purchase with the
$10,000 prize. All students will be available to photograph and interview,
along with the principal, the school's "team captain" who has been
rounding up residents to save energy and support PB Middle, as well as
staff from SDG&E.
BACKGROUND: Only three weeks remain until the challenge wraps up on Nov.
30, and San Diego Energy Challenge participants still have the chance to
earn individual prizes, such as gift cards and tablets, and help their
local SDUSD middle school compete for a chance to win a cash grant. The
top school will win a cash grant of $10,000 and several additional schools
will split different increments of an additional $20,000.

NEWS RELEASE -- Message from Board of Education President Dr. John Lee Evans to San Diego Unified Staff
Reporters and editors: Board of Education President Dr. John Lee Evans
sent this to all district staff yesterday, Nov. 7. If you have any
questions, please contact Bernie Rhinerson, Chief of Staff, at
619-725-5567.
Jack Brandais | Communications Department | San Diego Unified School
District | (619) 725-5570 (Desk) | (619) 607-0477 (Cell)
To: District Staff
From: Dr. John Lee Evans, Board of Education President
A Message to All Staff: Your Hard Work Saved San Diego Unified Schools
Superintendent Kowba and all San Diego Unified employees,
Voters in San Diego and across the state have spoken loudly and clearly in
support of our public schools. Prop 30 and Prop Z won because all of our
employees throughout our district have proved through hard work and
dedication to students that we have schools worth investing in.
The positive election results are an indicator that the tide against
public education has turned. The state will now have more resources that
can be used to stop the hemorrhaging of the past four years. The first
good news is that we will not have to cut 14 days off this school year
which will help ensure that our students continue to achieve at higher
levels.
But while we are not suffering immediate further cuts, we must still
contend with our current budget that has already been decimated by four
years of cuts. We can only do this by continuing to work together. We
are San Diego UNIFIED.
I am proud to be associated with the staff, students and parents of San
Diego Unified. I also want to offer my congratulations to our newest
member of the board, Marne Foster. She is a lifelong educator and a proud
San Diego Unified mom who will be an excellent addition to the Board of
education.
Thanks again,
John Lee Evans
President, Board of Education
