TEENS: Declining rate From Page A1 “We make sure they are connected with a doctor, make sure they are aware of community resources that exist, make sure they have the insurance they need,” she said. They also work with the teens on parenting skills and family planning, and they teach them about child development. After the baby is born, “we make sure they are going to those well-baby visits, which are very frequent when the baby is first born,” Rizzitano said. The program is voluntary, with teens referred to the county through other agencies. “We try to make sure that if they are pregnant as a teenager that they are getting the resources they need,” Rizzitano said.
Several factors Several factors are contributing to the declining
teen birth rate, according to data from the Pew Research Center. According to Pew, the number of teen girls who have had sex is on the decline, falling from 51 percent in 1988 to 43 percent in 2010, the most recent data from the National Survey of Family Growth. At the same time, teenage girls who are having sex are more likely to use birth control. According to Pew, significantly higher percentages of teens are using contraceptives than in the past. In the most recent data, 78 percent of teens said they used contraceptives the first time they had sex; 86 percent used contraception during their most recent sex. Rizzitano said the county makes contraceptives available through a wellness clinic at Women, Infants and Children offices, and through the Health Department.
LOS ANGELES TIMES
Years before an unmanned rocket erupted in a fireball in October, NASA officials knew the metal in its 50-year-old Soviet-made engines could crack, causing fuel to leak and ignite, government documents show. As early as 2008, a NASA committee warned about the “substantial” risk of using the decades-old engines, and a fire during a 2011 engine test in Mississippi heightened the agency’s concern. The engines had a “fundamental flaw in the materials,” said a top manager for NASA’s contracted rocket builder, Orbital Sciences, in a 2013 interview with an agency historian. The Soviet engines were built in the

prediction(s) for 2015? A. I have never been very good at making predictions because I base decisions off of data, input from others and expert advice. Through a collective and thorough process, I am then able to make decisions. However, if pressed, I would predict that the economic growth happening in our community will bring greater attention to our community schools, which we welcome with open arms. We have many wonderful things happening in our schools, and we want our community to know it, from integrating technology in ways never fathomed 10 years ago, to performing award-winning theatrical plays, to developing philanthropic strategies that raise thousands of dollars for community organizations, to handling every new initiative thrown our way via state and federal mandates and/or changes. Our staff and students are amazing, and I predict they will continue to be amazing in 2015.

ment for every student in KUSD. I hope to do this by continuing to engage our staff, students and community in our learning environment. I also want to continue encouraging everyone to be involved when talking about the future of our children and young adult learners in this community. We have many great leaders and role models who have been and are willing to include KUSD in their world, which provides our students with more learning and/or work-related experiences than ever before. I believe in the governance structure of our School Board, and I hope that the positive and productive work of 2014 continues into this year. It will take a positive district and board relationship to remain focused on the board’s main goals: student achievement, fiscal responsibility and professional growth opportunities for staff. Q.

1960s and 1970s in a failed attempt to take cosmonauts to the moon. “They were never designed to be in storage that long,” said the Orbital manager, Ken Eberly, deputy director for the rocket program. The explosion, just seconds after liftoff from a Virginia launch pad on Oct. 28, destroyed tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded supplies, experiments and equipment, all bound for the International Space Station. The episode has raised questions about NASA’s oversight of a new program to hire private contractors to carry cargo and astronauts to orbit, rather than operate the spacecraft itself.
