| Summary: The Gilroy Dispatch reports that students at El Portal Leadership Academy plan to address newly elected Gilroy Unified School District board members, focusing on the lack of programs for youth who are abusing drugs and alcohol. The high school students will use data from WestEd's California Healthy Kids Survey, which showed that local teens are drinking at higher rates than the state average, and that Gilroy ranks in the top percentile for binge drinking. |
