ESCONDIDO, Calif. (September 21, 2022) – Neighborhood Healthcare, a regional Federally Qualified Health Center providing a wide range of health services, announced today the launch of its behavioral health mobile services program with the Escondido Union High School District.

The initiative improves student access to such services through a mobile health center vehicle at Del Lago Academy, San Pasqual High, Escondido High, Valley High and Orange Glen High Schools.

“Bringing this program to the schools eliminates barriers to accessing care, for example transportation, insurance, or time in a busy schedule to attend doctor appointments,” said Gabriel Rodarte, MD, Behavioral Health Medical Director at Neighborhood Healthcare. “We will do so in a safe and supportive environment and are grateful to UnitedHealthcare and other organizations that provided the grants to support these efforts that align with our stated mission to deliver quality, compassionate, whole-person care to everyone regardless of circumstance.”

The mobile health center vehicle will be on the campuses weekly. Both students and parents will have access to educational resources through the school’s website and QR codes. Licensed therapists will provide counseling with the full support of the Behavioral Health Department should any student need enhanced care.

“We recognize the importance of supporting our student’s mental health and were so pleased to open Wellness Center spaces on our three comprehensive high school campuses last year,” said Escondido Union High School District Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ph.D. “This partnership with Neighborhood Healthcare allows us to provide additional behavioral health supports to even more students in our district. Access to behavioral health services is especially important for our community as nearly 80 percent of students in our district are either homeless, foster youth, or of low socio-economic status.”

The behavioral health mobile services program at the Escondido High School District’s campuses will cost approximately $720,000. The funding for this initiative came in part from:

President Ellen Neufeldt

With Cal State San Marcos welcoming back thousands of students to a bustling campus, President Ellen Neufeldt will deliver her annual Report to the Community on Thursday, Sept. 29, highlighting the university’s role as a powerful engine for good.  

About 350 individuals representing a broad cross section of regional business, nonprofit, education and government leadership are expected to attend the event.

In her remarks, Neufeldt will discuss how CSUSM is dismantling barriers to educational access and leading the conversation on student social mobility. The university last month welcomed the largest freshman class in its history at the start of a fall semester that is largely in person as the pandemic continues to recede in its impact on campus operations.

Neufeldt also will talk about significant growth at CSUSM, both now and in the future. The university this fall opened its third housing facility, North Commons, and its first student dining hall, Campus Way Cafe. Construction is expected to begin as early as December 2023 on an affordable housing and dining complex, and also on the horizon is an academic building dedicated to integrated science and engineering.

This will be the fourth Report to the Community for Neufeldt, who started in her position in July 2019. Report to the Community is an annual tradition that CSUSM has hosted since 2005.  

During the event, CSUSM will present its annual Community Partner of the Year award to SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union. The Orange County-based educational credit union recently gave CSUSM a $132,707 gift to create a state-of-the-art active learning lab that has resulted in innovative and creative approaches to teaching and learning.

The emcee of Report to the Community will be Scotty Lombardi, senior vice president of talent acquisition at Umpqua Bank and chair of CSUSM’s University Council. Also scheduled to speak is Julia Glorioso, president of Associated Students, Inc.

Report to the Community is hosted each year by University Council, a citizen advisory board consisting of community leaders interested in the development and welfare of the university.  

North City and Wells Fargo are the presidential sponsors of Report to the Community. The premier sponsor is SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union. The signature sponsors are Hunter Industries and Kaiser Permanente.  

What: CSUSM President Ellen Neufeldt’s annual Report to the Community address  

When: 8 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 29 (doors open at 7)

Where: University Student Union ballroom on campus

SAN MARCOS, CA (September 22, 2022) — Palomar College is seeking to fill the last remaining vacancy on its Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (ICOC), which reviews the expenditure of Proposition M funds. Applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 28, 2022.

The Oversight Committee is made up of a legally-mandated combination of citizens, including two members of the community at-large, one of which is the seat now being filled.

Fall 2022 first week-4886Approved by voters in 2006, Prop. M is a $694 million bond measure that has enabled the Palomar Community College District (PCCD) to make extensive modernizations and improvements at its San Marcos campus; open education centers in Rancho Bernardo and Fallbrook; and fund a variety of other projects during the past 16 years.

The ICOC remains in place while the remaining funds from Prop. M general obligation bonds are allocated to existing and future projects. The committee is responsible for ensuring bond proceeds are expended only for the purposes described in the Prop. M ballot measure.

More information about the ICOC can be obtained on Palomar’s website at http://www.palomar.edu/icoc/ or by contacting Heather Sutton at hsutton@palomar.edu or 760-744-1150 ext. 2116. The application to serve on the Committee is also available online.

Candidates must be at least 18 years old and must reside within the PCCD, which stretches from Camp Pendleton and part of Oceanside in the west, to Borrego Springs in the east, and from the Riverside County line to Poway and Rancho Penasquitos in the south.

State law requires that the ICOC membership include at least one student enrolled and active in a community college support group, such as student government; one member active in a business organization representing the business community; one member active in a senior citizens’ organization; one member active in a taxpayers’ association; one member active in a support organization for Palomar College, such as the Palomar College Foundation and President’s Associates; and two members of the community at large.

A majority of the members must possess expertise in one or more of the following areas: large­scale construction operations, municipal/public finance, expertise with agency/entity budgeting, and project management. The committee may not include any employee or official of the district, or any vendor, contractor or consultant of the district.

Under the ICOC bylaws approved by the Governing Board in September 2006, terms of service are generally two years with a maximum of three consecutive terms. Members are not compensated. The college anticipates that the ICOC will meet quarterly.

The ICOC bylaws stipulate the group will receive and review the district’s annual independent performance audit and annual independent financial audit; inspect college facilities and grounds for which bond proceeds have been or will be expended; review district efforts to maximize bond proceeds; inform the public and Governing Board about the district’s bond expenditures; present an annual written report to the Board; and provide other input.

Tales of Min’Umbra Miniature Shadow Exhibition & Live Puppetshow

By
NC Daily Star Staff

For ONE NIGHT ONLY, before it’s move to Tucson, Arizona! Come see Tania Yager’s Tales of Min’Umbra Shadow Exhibition!

About this event
The Tales of Min’Umbra are stories from a world of shadow and light, where ancestorial folk tales and dangerous characters are illuminated and allowed to dance in our imagination. Ghostly horses, dancing devils, and impish sprites perilously abound in miniature. Min’Umbra is a place only accessed when seasons turn dark, the night is long, and the liminal spaces are revealed. This is where spirits fly, magic is real, and the old world comes through in diminutive but haunting silhouettes. Where is Min’Umbra? It can be found in the time between first witches’ moon and the last burning embers of the dying Yule log. Hope, generosity, and gratitude can be uncovered in the darkest of places… if only one knows how to pull back the shadows. Tales From Min’Umbra is a solo shadow art exhibition for all age audiences created by artist and puppeteer Tania L. Yager of Twisted Heart Puppetworks in Vista California.
