Has the faculty been ruled out?

The student told police she was followed and saw the man and the vehicle two or three more times during her walk to school. The incident was immediately reported to school officials, who notified police.

The suspect was described as an Asian man in his 40s. The vehicle was initially described as a white sedan, but police said interviews indicate it was more likely a smaller white SUV or crossover.

“Officers are actively investigating and are working directly with the student and her family. Officers have completed a thorough check of the area and surrounding area and are conducting interviews and checking available surveillance video sources in the surrounding area,” police said in a social media post.

A man was arrested on suspicion of battery after witnesses saw him knock a hat off a student’s head in front of Pacific Grove Middle School as children were being let out for the day.

On Jan. 15 at about 2:05 p.m., Frederik Vermote, 44, of Marina, confronted a P.G. Middle School student “for throwing books on the ground that came from a free library
box located in the front lawn of the school,” police Cmdr Brian Anderson told The Pine Cone last week. “During the confrontation, Vermote struck the child,” who was not injured

Vermote is listed as an associate professor of social sciences and global studies at Cal State Monterey Bay. Police did not specify Vermote’s relationship to the student. On Jan. 23, the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office charged Vermote with  misdemeanor battery, claiming he used “force and violence upon John Doe while on school property.’

Trustee later hid the assault rifle behind a yippiekaeyay (missing the MF ending) banner. While somewhat humorous it’s over the line of tastefulness and conduct unbecoming of a school trustee

Many residents of the popular P.G. neighborhood go all out this time of year, decorating their homes with elaborate holiday-themed displays and light shows, which draws thousands of visitors to the neighborhood.
But one rooftop exhibit, featuring a machine-gun toting character and a dead guy, was all the buzz this week on social media.

Pacific Grove Unified School District trustee Mike Wachs is behind the display, which features a wooden cutout of actor Bruce Willis’ character, John McClane, in the 1988 movie “Die Hard”. The McClane cartoon, done in the style of The Simpsons animated series, is covered with blood and holds a machine gun. Other nearby displays include an exploding building and a dead man, both of which also depict scenes
from the movie.

Eh, it was a dead deer that was killed by a mountain lion. Quick to send out the warnings, except when human predators are there all the time.

On Oct. 1O, Pacific Grove Unified School District sent an alert to parents that staff at Forest Grove Elementary School that morning had discovered a dead dear on
campus. It was apparent that the deer was the victim of a
predator. “This morning, school site staff discovered a deceased deer on the Forest Grove Elementary campus, behind K-Wing,” PGUSD noted. “The scene indicated possible wildlife activity, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been notified.”
Children were not at school when the attack occurred,
and Pacific Grove students are on fall break this week.

$200,000 For Schools, Good?

Not really. It’s for 2 delivery trucks to meet the needs of serving school lunches. Never had a problem with serving students when the population was more than it is today. Only problem then was those hardtack grilled cheese.

Students at Pacific Grove Middle School were probably surprised to see what appeared to be a food truck, complete with colorful, oceanside graphics, on their campus. The truck, formally called a “mobile serving station,” is one of two electric vehicles the district purchased for $96,000 apiece that distribute food to students to reduce the cafeteria lunch line, which can get long.

School Kid On Motorized Scooter Hurt In Crash With Car

Posted on by

No details, but all three 4-way intersections around PG Middle School are 4 way stops. Motorized scooters and bicycles can often be seen riding on sidewalks.

A middle school student in Pacific Grove was injured in a collision with a car while riding a motorized scooter to school on the first day of classes, prompting concerns about traffic safety.

The seventh grader collided with a Mercedes, leaving a dent on the car and a gash on the windshield, according to another witness, Susannah Ashton.

“He was in the fetal position on his left side, and he just kept screaming and saying, it hurt. It hurt, it hurt,” Falknor said.

Ashton also expressed concerns about children riding motorized scooters, saying, “It’s just ridiculous. Kids don’t need to be on what’s essentially a motorcycle without any kind of license or regulation. And we just we need we need protections for the kids for that. But we also need better crosswalks and stop signs.”

Afraid of guns? Or give the student one less resource to go to when being abused by teachers?

PGhs Speling

The board’s decision not to continue the program comes after an incident in September 2024 in which a transient who trespassed on the P.G. High threatened to shoot a school employee. In November 2023, another man vowed to kill P.G. High’s former principal after wandering around
inside the city’s middle school.
School board member Jennifer McNary pointed to numerous reasons she didn’t want a police presence at P.G. schools.’ ‘I’m not in favor of guns on campuses,” McNary said.

Teachers Laid Off

About declining enrollment. And Therapists? Didn’t we used to call them counselors or is this some other made up non-teaching job?

school board last week voted to lay off several teachers
and therapists to help close a nearly $3 million deficit.
Pacific Grove Unified School District chief human resources officer Buck Roggeman told the board that the layoffs are due to decreases in student enrollment in kindergarten through fifth grade. Pacific Grove’s two elementary schools are Forest Grove on Congress and Robert Down on Pine.
