SUBJECT: Administrative Report
• The City of Renton, Renton Police Department, and the Renton School District
are partnering to sponsor the Steered Straight Program on February 27-28 at
Renton, Hazen, Lindbergh, and Talley high schools as a regular assembly for
students. There will also be a no-cost, no-registration required
Parent/Community Academy presentation by Steered Straight on Friday evening
February 28 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Lindbergh High School auditorium. We
hope to see a large turnout at this no-cost event!
The Steered Straight training is presented by speaker, Michael DeLeon who has
presented to 11,500 schools in all 50 states. The program provides a “message
to youth on the extreme dangers of drugs, gang involvement, and associated
criminal activity.” DeLeon’s message connects with youth and young adults
with a message of reality about life-choices and the importance of
consequential thinking, so they understand that there are consequences to their
actions. During the parent/community academy, the presentation will provide
education and awareness about the potential exposures to young people (such
as vaping, alcohol, marijuana, fentanyl) and how parents, guardians, family, or
friends can help support good life choices for their loved ones. More
information can be found at www.steeredstraight.org.
• The Renton Police Department is now accepting applications for the Spring
Community Police Academy. The Academy is hosted Wednesday evenings at
City Hall between April 16-June 4 from 6-8:30 p.m. Deadline to submit your
application is Monday, March 3. Visit www.Rentonwa.gov/CPA for more
information and to submit your application.
