City Council from front page
many people have misconceptions about smoke
alarms that can put them at an increased risk.
NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire
Prevention Week since 1922. Calvin Coolidge
proclaimed the first National Fire Prevention
Week on October 4-10, 1925, which began a
tradition of the President of the United States
signing a proclamation recognizing the occasion.
The week of education is observed in
commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire,
which began October 8, 1871 but caused
the most damage October 9. Fire Prevention
Week is on record as the longest running
public health observance, according to the
National Archives and Records Administration’s
Library Information Center.
“It is very interesting to see the kids’ faces
light up when we explain firefighting,” Rhodes
said. “And the firefighters enjoy spending
the time with them, so thank you for the
proclamation.”
Mayor Furey added, “I think you have really
found an excellent way to get the information
back to the parents--tell the kids.”
City Council Remembers
Dee Hardison
Tuesday night’s Council meeting included
a moment of silence and tribute to former
two-term Torrance Mayor Dee Hardison, who
recently passed away at the age of 79. Each
member of the Council took a turn describing
Hardison’s many accomplishments, both
as an elected official and active resident of
Torrance. Hardison was a special education
teacher whose involvement in city government
began when a neighborhood park being built
sparked her interest. In addition to spending
eight years on the Council, Hardison also
served as both a Parks and Recreation and
Planning Commissioner. Her commitment
to the City and its residents earned her the
2011 Jared Sidney Torrance Award.
During her tenure as Mayor, Hardison was
part of the Civic Center Library expansion,
was instrumental in providing a space for the
Madrona Marsh Nature Preserve and was part
of kickoff efforts to redevelop Old Torrance.
Born Delores Grinton, Dee--as she was
affectionately known--was born on January
22, 1938 in Washington and graduated from
Western Washington University where she
met her future husband Lowell Hardison.
The couple and their children moved to
Torrance in 1967. •
School Board from front page
financially support each student’s ongoing
success via scholarships and grants.
ACE also works closely with sponsors to
provide as close to real-world opportunities as
possible. The program uses working professionals
such as architects, interior designers,
landscape architects, mechanical engineers,
structural engineers, electrical engineers,
environmental engineers, civil engineers and
construction managers to volunteer. Since
its inception, ACE has granted more than
$14 million in scholarships to participating
students, reaches an estimated 8,000 students
each year and is considered the construction
industry’s fastest-growing high school mentoring
program.
North High students will be invited to
attend tours of area architectural firms, engineering
firms, college and trade schools;
and participate in trade shows as the school
year progresses. All costs associated with the
program will be funded via community donations,
grants from ACE Mentors and North
High Supplemental funds.
Also on Monday, the Board members
approved an agreement with Independent
Contractors for the 2017-2018 school year for
healthcare services. Due to state regulations, the
District must contract with outside individuals
or agencies to provide students with specialized
healthcare needs with the daily services
required. These contractors must be licensed
vocational nurse, as defined in a student IEP
or 504 plan. “Throughout the year, as the
needs of individual students warrant, Health
Services staff will recommend contracting with
a variety of independent contractors,” states
the agenda provided to the Board.
So far the list of contractors includes seven
vendors at a price not to exceed $370,000 for
their services combined. Among the independent
contractors are providers that the District
has worked with in the past. However, there
might be a need for additional services not
covered by the listed providers, as well as no
need to use any of the contractors listed. All
costs related to specialized healthcare services
provided via independent contractors are to
be funded by the Health Services account.
The Board also approved participation in
Community Based Instruction (CBI) trips for
South High School’s and Calle Mayor Middle
School’s STEPS Program. The trips offered
to Special Education Students provide an
opportunity for them to practice “functional
living skills such as making purchases and
using public resources.” These have become
popular aspects of the STEPS program.
“All CBI trips take place during the regular
school day and are either a walking trip, or
transportation is coordinated with the STEPS
student’s regular daily District bus transportation,”
states the Board agenda.
Each principal will be informed in advance
of any of the trips throughout the 2017-
2018 school year. During each CBI outing,
there are no less than seven adults for every
16 students. These educational trips are funded
via the STEPS program Special Education
budget available to each school site.
Some of the regular trips taken by STEPS
students have included community libraries,
Discovery Park, the Del Amo Fashion Center,
local grocery stores and restaurants, the Post
Office, the Redondo Beach Pier, Starbucks,
the Torrance Fire and Police departments,
Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Zamperini
Field & Flight Tower, among others. •
