The contest is sponsored by the nonprofit organization Campaign for College Opportunity. The deadline to enter is March 15.
Students will be asked to answer the question, “Why should California leaders save you and your peers a spot in college?”
Entries may be submitted in writing, in poster form or as a video/television ad. Entries are separated into two levels: grades sixth through eighth, and grades ninth through 12th.
More than 200 prizes will be split among middle school and high school students, and will range from $500 to $2,500.
“This scholarship contest will serve as an excellent opportunity for students to understand that there is indeed a place for them in college, and that they can succeed through determination and creativity,” Wiggins said.
All entries must be mailed (postmarked) or submitted online by the March 15 deadline to be considered. Students who are 12 years old or younger must have a parent or legal guardian sign their entry forms before mailing them.
“If you submit your written word entry online, you must still mail in a signed entry form postmarked by March 15 to be considered,” Wiggins said.
Entries are judged based on effectiveness of message, ability to attract and hold attention, creativity, accuracy of information, and whether they are clear and compelling.

Wiggins represents California’s 2nd Senate District, comprised of Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties.

Carlé High School loves to give the students new events that they could possibly participate in. The student council at Carlé would appreciate having more students participate in getting Carlé High School's prom together. We need new activity ideas and new supporters to get this thing together by the end of the year.
One issue that is now coming up is the price. We our in a worry that we might not be able to financially support our prom. An idea that has come up to help with this price shortage would be to hold our prom at our school. So from Carlé to you, we hope that we will have more people helping to put this prom together before time runs out.
Carlé High School is now accepting any old computer donations. Our media class at Carlé is now taking old and broken down computers and making them into brand new computers. These computers that will be made by our media crew will be given to kids and families that are in need of a computer. If
you have any information that could possibly help out Carlé, or if you have any computers that you would like to donate, please contact Carlé at 994-1033, and ask to speak with Alan Siegel. Thank you for your consideration.
A new club in Carlé high School is the stream team. This club would not be possible without our favorite science teacher, Angie Siegel. Carlé's first steam team get together was on Thursday, Jan. 22, at the Snows Lake Vineyard. There they learned to use a turbidity meter to measure the sediment in steams and drainage channels. They also monitored the erosion control to check out the levels of nitrogen, phosphates, pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen in the Seigler Canyon Creek. We would like to thank the students Brooke Robb, Geneva Hudson, Paul Silsby, and Zen Carroll for participating in the stream team on Thursday.
With the new semester, we would like to welcome all the new students who we are happy to have here: Steven Bauer, Steven Farnan, Destinee Flores, Angela Hood, Doyle Lopez, Mariah Meyers, Patricia Moleiro, Marissa Robertson and Gloria Rojas. We hope you will all enjoy your stay here at Carlé High
School.
We would also like to acknowledge Carlé's gold status students, Bonny Passley, Amanda Tchamourian, Kodi Burr, Chris Clark, Kayla Mincey, Jonathan Hill, Shawn Hignite, Ashley Wiebusch, Kaitlyn Sliger, Michelle Perry-Alden, Jamila Parker, Will McAlister, Alex Huff, Geneva Hudson, Winter Gray, Stacey Fedewa, Leana Efestione and Sam Ayala. These students have gone above and beyond what is expected of them, and for that, we would like to say congratulations. We hope you all keep up the good work.
To close this article, there are some special people we would like to thank for being a big help at Carlé High School. One is our very own student Alex Huff. We would like to thank her for helping Barbra Dye out in her office during sixth period. We would also like to thank Heidi Morgan for helping us
with the Carlé choir class. To thank her, we designed her a plaque for being so wonderful to us.
We would like to thank Dr. Hewlett for being here for for us when we desperately needed him. Last but certainly not least, we would like to thank Allen Markowski for making our after school music
program possible. Thank you all for being such a wonderful help to Carlé High School.

State law (AB 1234, signed into law in 2005) requires that the members of local governing bodies, along with certain categories of local government employees, receive at least two hours of ethics training every two years. The trainings must cover relevant ethics principles and ethics laws, such as financial interest disclosure requirements and open government laws.
Under existing law, if a local government agency “provides any type of compensation, salary, or stipend” to a member of its respective governing body (city council, board of supervisors, etc.), or “provides reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred by a member” of that governing body in the performance of official duties, then all officials of that governing body are required to receive ethics training.
Local agencies and their trade associations are allowed to provide such trainings at home, in-person, or online. In addition, the offices of the state attorney general and the Fair Political Practices Commission provide free online ethics trainings.
The training requirement currently applies to cities and counties (including charter cities and counties) and special districts. The existing law does not, however, apply to school districts (members of the Legislature, and their staff, are similarly required to undergo ethics training).
Authored by all five members of the Senate Local Government Committee, which is chaired by North Coast State Senator Patricia Wiggins (D-Santa Rosa), Senate Bill 106 extends the requirement for ethics training to school boards and their designated employees, affecting school districts, community college districts, and county boards of education.
“Because existing law does not require school district officials to take ethics training courses, those officials may not be fully aware of their responsibilities under the state’s ethics laws,” Wiggins said today. “Our new legislation is in response to concerns that school district officials should be required to adhere to the same ethics training requirements that apply to other local officials.”
Were SB 106 to become law, school officials would have the same training options as local agencies, including free online courses. School officials would be required to complete their ethics training by January 1, 2011.
The officials that would be required by SB 106 to take ethics training include:
Members of a school district board of trustees;
Members of a community college district board of trustees;
Members of a county board of education;
County superintendents of schools.
(Note: Of the state’s 58 county superintendents, 53 are elected, and five are appointed. The five counties with appointed superintendents are Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Clara).
The above-mentioned officials may also designate any of their employees to take ethics trainings.
Wiggins represents California’s 2nd District, comprised or portions or all of six counties: Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano and Sonoma.
