CM Vasquez provided a report for the Texting and Driving Educational Campaign Subcommittee. CM
Vasquez stated that the Texting and Driving Public Service Announcement (PSA) was not allowed to be
shown at Dublin High because the PSA was an announcement that was produced by an organization in
New Zealand. Staff at the high school stated that the Youth Advisory Committee needed written
permission from the organization before being shown to students. CM Vasquez will contact the
organization to obtain written permission. If permission isn’t granted, CM Vasquez recommended that the
subcommittee look into creating and producing a PSA.
CM Castro lead member of the Youth Fee Assistance Fundraising Subcommittee reported that the
subcommittee will meet by the end to November. Staff Member Gamez reported that the Battle of the
