A coalition of tobacco-free health advocates has given Los Gatos a "D" for its efforts to keep cigarettes and other tobacco products away from teens and young adults. The grade is down from the "B" the town received a year ago. Grading is based on a 100 point scale, with Los Gatos receiving 66 points.
The report cards were based in part on the results of decoy operations that were conducted in 13 Santa Clara County cities and unincorporated county areas. The illegal tobacco sales rate to minors in Santa Clara County now stands at 17.3 percent.
Chamber looks for new town leaders
Residents who are interested in training for a community leadership role are encouraged to apply for the Leadership Los Gatos program. Applications are being accepted now and are available at www.losgatos chamber.com or at the Chamber of Commerce at 10 Station Way. The deadline to apply is Aug. 31.
The program, that starts this fall and runs through June, is aimed at preparing community members to become more involved in town leadership roles.
Students need proof of vaccination
Students who are entering grades 7-12 must show proof that they've been vaccinated against whooping cough or have received a Tdap booster by the time school starts on Aug. 22.
The documentation must be verified by the school before a student can start class next week.
Local pharmacies are offering the boosters or students can get one from their doctors. The Santa Clara County Public Health Department is also offering low cost booster clinics
