Police department giving out gunlocks
The Campbell Police Department was among the law enforcement agencies that received a grant from the Lucile Packard Foundation that provides for funds to purchase gunlocks and distribute them to the public free of charge.
People interested in receiving the gunlocks must be Santa Clara County residents and must complete short questionnaires, which are to be sent to the Lucile Packard Foundation for the sole purpose of tracking the number of gunlocks given away, according to Campbell Police Officer Carlos Guerrero. To receive a free gunlock, call the Campbell Police Department at 408.866.2121 Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and speak with property and evidence specialist Jenny Araujo or officer Guerrero to make an appointment.
Campbell resident elected to board
Former Campbell Union School district board member Leon Beauchman has been elected president of the Santa Clara County Board of Education for 2002. Also a Campbell resident, Beauchman has served on the county board since 1999, and prior to that served on the Campbell district's board for six years. He is a member of the executive board of the California School Boards Association and education chairman for the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group. The seven-member county board sets policies that guide the County Office of Education in providing administrative, instructional and student services to 37 school and community college districts.
Clarification on upcoming bond
Campbell Union School district officials expressed concern about an article that appeared in the Dec. 12 issue of The Campbell Reporter, titled "$74.9 million bond going before voters in the district; Monroe would get the bulk of the funds."
District representative Marla Olszewski said officials were concerned that voters in the district would construe from the headline that Monroe Middle School would receive most of the funds if the bond passes. Monroe would receive about $18 million, which is about 24 percent of the total amount of the bond. Hazelwood and Rosemary Elementary Schools would each receive about $11 million. Olszewski said all district schools would benefit if the bond passes; many of the schools' libraries would be renovated and old portable buildings would be replaced. A few schools also need parking lots to be repaved and striped to reduce traffic congestion.
