At the School Safety Symposium, law enforcement officials emphasized the multifaceted threats facing students beyond shootings, including bullying, social media dangers, and substance abuse. They underscored the importance of collaborative efforts among schools, law enforcement, and mental health professionals to address these issues and urged students to speak up about concerning behavior to prevent tragedies. The focus was on proactive intervention rather than punitive measures, aiming to steer individuals away from violence and towards positive paths.

Students at CART, collaborating with the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, crafted enrichment tools like a faux prey feeder for animals, sparking natural behaviors. Through research, design, and partnership with zookeepers, these creations engage animals physically and behaviorally, reflecting their wild instincts. This collaborative effort not only benefits the animals but also provides real-world learning opportunities for students, emphasizing the importance of hands-on education.

Selected for their demonstrated expertise in programs such as heavy machinery, engineering, and welding, these students will play a pivotal role in constructing various components of the vehicle.
