Resident urges clothing swap at district back-to-school event; city engineer invites district to AB 98 truck-route outreach
Summary
Pamela Brown urged the district to include clothing and shoe exchanges at upcoming back-to-school events to help families, and the City of Moreno Valley's assistant city engineer, Harold Zamora, briefed the board on AB 98 truck-route updates and invited the district to engage in public outreach before the city submits final proposals.
During public comment Pamela Brown asked whether the district could include clothing and shoe-exchange options at the back-to-school resource events so families could donate outgrown items and others could take them for free. "Shoes and clothing is even better for these families that are struggling right now to make ends meet," Brown said, and she left a flyer and contact information for organizers. The superintendent said Rafael Garcia, director of the district wellness center, would follow up to coordinate and share information with families.
Harold Zamora, assistant city engineer for the City of Moreno Valley, told the board that 2024 legislation (AB 98) required cities to revise master truck routes to better protect schools, hospitals and neighborhoods. He said the city has conducted stakeholder outreach, has been working with district transportation staff and will send materials and an offer for a formal presentation by the city's attorney at a future board meeting. "As part of that public outreach, we wanted to come tonight and just extend an invitation," Zamora said.
