RPD's new illegal fireworks drone detection program, a 3rd Street eminent domain consideration, and a $3.3 million contract to advance the design of a new downtown police headquarters are on Council’s agenda.
During a special meeting held on Monday, August 6, the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) Governing Board unanimously voted to appoint Dr. Jesse Oliver Tweed to fill the Trustee Area 4 seat vacated by the passing of Trustee Tom Hunt.
The appointment will become permanent unless a petition is filed with the Riverside County Superintendent of Schools within 30 days and signed by a sufficient number of registered voters in the area. If not, Tweed's appointment will expire after the special election.
Tweed, a pediatrician and community leader, has served as the School Site Council President-elect for the past two years. He has also served in numerous medical community leadership positions, including President-elect for the pediatric staff at Parkview Community Hospital.
RUSD says Tweed is committed to advocating for high-quality education, creating an inclusive learning environment, and enhancing community engagement to support student success.
