The PTSA wants to hear parent concerns about pot use on campus. BHS Dean of Students Kiernan Rok is coming to share some data related to marijuana use at BHS and discuss some of the preventative and responsive strategies in place to address this issue. </span></div><div style="font-size: 11.5px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 12px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br></div><div style="font-size: 11.5px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Facilities Plan Input</b></span></div><div style="font-size: 11.5px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 12px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br></div><div style="font-size: 11.5px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">BUSD has contracted HY architects to prepare BUSD's 10-year Facility Plan to meet current and future needs of students and staff. The ultimate goal is to define a vision for all Berkeley schools and a plan for development that look 10 years into the future (and will be used to draft the next bond measure). HY has already met with the principal and VP group as well as the school’s leadership team to gather preliminary information. The voices of parents and students are needed at this time. HY architects will be at the meeting to review the information gained to date and to gain insight and information related to parent experiences with the campus. </span></div><div style="font-size: 11.5px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 12px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br></div><div style="font-size: 11.5px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">On a related note, the new BUSD Sustainability Plan lays out goals for saving energy and water and using green building materials. The meeting is a potential opportunity for you to express how you want these areas incorporated at BHS in the Facilities Plan.
