Events
Engaging the public throughout the development and implementation of AB 617 will be paramount. The District plans to host a series of workshops, public meetings, and community forums to educate the public, yet more importantly, to solicit suggestions and feedback on a wide variety of issues, including allocation of funds, identifying communities for potential enhanced monitoring and action plan development.

Stockton CSC members,
Last night, the Stockton Unified School District Board discussed whether to enter into a license agreement with the Valley Air District to allow placement of air monitoring equipment at community-identified schools in the AB 617 boundary.
Unfortunately, despite receiving written and verbal support from the District, several CSC members, and Stockton residents, the School Board ultimately decided against the proposed agreement. While we are all disappointed with the decision, we are also committed to working with you all to develop solutions to this issue.
We would like to schedule an Air Monitoring Subcommittee meeting next week to discuss next steps and continue to move forward with siting and deploying the community air monitoring network. To help us schedule, please respond to this doodle poll no later than TOMORROW (Thursday 7/29) at 5pm.
