The Paso Robles School Board of Trustees met Tuesday night to discuss the future of the dual immersion program at Georgia Brown. After being presented with options for the next school year and potential re-districting boundaries the board voted 5-2 in their decision to house the dual immersion program at Lewis Middle School for the 2024-2025 School year. Flamson Middle School will be converted into a joint junior high school and all incoming 6th graders will stay at their respective elementary schools. The board also chose to adopt the second presented option for school boundaries, regarding incoming kindergarteners which would expand Kermit King Elementary school’s boundaries into the current Georgia Brown area. The two descending votes for this decision were from Trustees Kenny Enney and Joel Peterson.
PASO ROBLES, CA – On February 5th, 2024, the Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services Department performed rescue boat training in the Salinas River near the intersection of Navajo Ave and Rio Ct. in Paso Robles.
Over the past 5 years, the department has responded to numerous water rescue calls in the Salinas River. After last year’s storms, the department identified options to make swift water rescues safer and more efficient. With support from Measure J-20 and the City Council, funds were allocated to implement a rescue boat program. Eleven of our firefighters have completed an intensive Swift Water Rescue Boat Operator course. This training allows the rescue boat to be available for calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
As the river continues to flow you will see Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services along with our cooperating fire agencies, working in a coordinated effort to continue to practice the perishable skills only available during heavy winter storms.
Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services would like to remind the public that moving water can be very dangerous. Just 6″ of moving water can sweep someone off their feet and 12″ can stall a small vehicle and move it down stream.
