Coastside teens ages 12 to 19 can submit an original poem in English or Spanish or both, written in any form. The contest deadline is June 30. Bilingual poems (English/Spanish) are eligible, if both the poem and its translation are the work of the teen.
Cash prizes will be awarded: 1st place English and Spanish, $75.00 each; 2nd place English and Spanish, $50.00 each; 5 Honorable Mentions, $25.00 each. For the fifth year, a Librarian’s Choice prize of $25.00 will be awarded for a poem selected by Library staff. In addition, teens entering the contest will receive a free copy of Moon Harvest/Cosecha de la Luna.
The prizes will be awarded at a poetry reading and awards ceremony on Friday, September 4 at 7:00 p.m. All teens who enter the contest will be invited to read their work.
Complete contest rules and entry forms for the 11th Annual Teen Poetry Contest are available at the Library and on the Bookmobile. The Half Moon Bay Library is located at 620 Correas Street. For more information, or for Library or Bookmobile hours, call 726-2316 x2.
The general population is invited to join us at Cunha for "Coffee With the Principal" on Friday, April 24th starting at 8:00 am and going for about 45 mins. It will be in the Community Schools Center in E Building where the old library used to be. It’s a great opportunity to meet Mr. Michael Andrews, Principal of Cunha, get your questions answered and see some of the new construction.
The San Mateo County Office of Education is taking control of the fiscal management of the La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District. The district faces a $200,000 deficit, a construction debacle, and the resignation of Superintendent Tim Beard, reports Julia Scott in the County Times.
Jean Holbrook, county superintendent of schools, announced at a school board meeting last week that she planned to assign a fiscal expert to help the district balance its budget by June 30 in light of a projected $200,000 deficit. An ongoing bond management crisis also has buried the district under a mountain of construction debt, although no one is sure how big the pile has become.
Fiscal expert Steve Waterman started work Monday. County law gives him final authority over spending decisions made by the board of trustees. ...
He also will scrutinize the botched school construction projects paid for with local bond money last year. Of the $15 million school bond passed by residents in 2006, only $9 million is still available to build a new high school and undertake other crucial renovations. School board officials argue that the district was defrauded by its original contractor, causing them to pay twice as much as expected for incomplete work.
Cunha Intermediate will host an "Open House" Thursday night. Dinner is at 5:30 provided by Spanish Town Restaurant and is $8.00 per person. The Cunha Band will provide entertainment. At 7:00 pm there will be a brief presentation to parents of new, incoming students in the Multi Use Room and from 7:00-8:30 pm all the classrooms will be open. Great way to see the new construction! You can also meet all the Staff.

Cabrillo Unified School District employees have received a list of the names and positions of district employees who have been given "pink slips" by the district. The final layoff list will not be announced until after the district receives more education budget information from the state, but those on the list are left waiting for a reprieve.
The board decided that positions in agricultural science, special education, and English language learners (BCLAD) would not be cut, regardless of seniority.
