Washington PTA that the&nbsp;City of Los Angeles&nbsp;is starting a program whereby gas-powered leaf blowers (used by all LAUSD maintenance personnel)&nbsp;can be&nbsp;replaced with electric ones.&nbsp;Since every leaf&nbsp;blower has the same emissions as a small car, it is&nbsp;really&nbsp;important&nbsp;in sharing this information with all of our units.&nbsp;The following link has more details:<br><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aqmd.gov\/home\/programs\/community\/lawn-and-garden-equipment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.aqmd.gov\/home\/programs\/community\/lawn-and-garden-equipment<\/a><br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delevan PTA signed a Climate Action Resolution&nbsp;last month&nbsp;at&nbsp;their&nbsp;executive board meeting and&nbsp;I am passing this information on to other units&nbsp;in hopes that your PTAs will also sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resolution comes from Schools for Climate Action, a non-partisan, grassroots, youth-adult campaign with a mission to empower schools to speak up for climate action in order to protect current and future generations. The California PTA signed the resolution in 2015 and Schools for Climate Action are asking us to sign now as individual PTAs. On March 28th a group will be going to DC hand deliver the resolutions to every Congressional office. The more support they have the better! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a link with information:&nbsp;<br><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.highlandscouncilpta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Climate-Resolution-Delevan-Drive-Elementary-PTA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.highlandscouncilpta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Climate-Resolution-Delevan-Drive-Elementary-PTA.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should there be any questions or if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to share information from your units with other Highlands Council units, please contact me at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:president@highlandscouncilpta.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">president@highlandscouncilpta.org<\/a>.<br>Sincerely,<br>Take Tada<br>President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Highlands Council PTA Members, Here are Highlands Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s updates for the month of March: This month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s meeting will be postponed to&nbsp;Monday April 8th, 2019. &nbsp;At this meeting we will be holding elections for the board of Highlands Council for the 2019-2020 school year. &nbsp;We&nbsp;are in need of&nbsp;a Treasurer, if you or someone you know&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/?p=814\" class=\"\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">March Announcements<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"off","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5,8,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcement","category-events","category-ptanews","category-whats-new"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highlandscouncilpta.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
