A town hall meeting is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss Pleasanton teen involvement in drinking, drug and tobacco use. The meeting is in response to the statistics shown in the 2005 California Healthy Kids Survey which says that of 11th graders in Pleasanton 32 percent have used marijuana, 23 percent have engaged in binge drinking in the past 30 days and 24 percent have been in a car with a driver under the influence of alcohol.
Ralph Cantor, coordinator of the Safe and Drug Free Schools program through the Alameda County Office of Education, will be the guest speaker. Other local experts, youth and community members are expected to attend and discuss the issues and a course of action.
The meeting is presented by the Alameda County Office of Education, Pleasanton Unified School District, Pleasanton Police Department, and the Amador Valley Adult and Community Education, and will be held in the Amador Valley High School Library at 1155 Santa Rita Road.
