We take a look at the stories that are coming to the web and in
the paper. This week: police outline their top priorities and two
high school teachers swap places with a Mexican teacher.
1. The police’s top five priorities
The Gilroy Police Department’s command staff has identified its top 5 priorities which includes: a) reinstating the Lucky Seven Program, a program that intently focuses on keeping tabs on some of the city’s top parolees; b) focusing traffic patrols on the top accident intersections; c) graffiti prevention and abatement; d) beefing up patrols on the top call for service locations related to crime residences; e) gang violence.
2. Life swap
Kermit and Gretchen Yoder-Schrock, who work at GHS, and Ernesto Colin of Mexico, traded homes for a year as part of the Fulbright teacher exchange program. Colin is teaching Gretchen Yoder-Schrock’s class and she’s teaching his in Mexico. Their families are along for the ride too. Find out how the families are settling in to their new homes and getting adjusted to foreign cultures.
