The law requires school districts to hold a public hearing on the approved categorical program transfers included in their budgets.  The hearing must be held annually during a regularly scheduled board meeting.  The transfers must be listed separately indicating specific amounts, as well as where and for what purpose they were transferred. 

For the 2011-2012 school year the Food & Nutrition Services & Transportation Departments will be holding an application round up.  During this time free and reduced meal applications and bus applications will be available for parents to fill out.

Bus pass applications will also be processed on site and a bus pass will be issued that day.

Thirteen-year-old Kate Garrett is part of a group taking school bullying into their own hands. No, the Aptos Junior High students aren't about to throw any punches. Nor are they going to start a vicious rumor or poke fun at a classmate's shoes. Garrett, as a member of the school's Gay Straight Alliance, has joined with other club members to stand up against bullying with the sale of rainbow-colored rubber wristbands that say "Stop bullying -- I am an ally."
