The app was first rolled out through a pilot program in which the Chula Vista Police Department, Chula Vista Elementary School District and Sweetwater Union High School District took part, according to the DA s office.
The program is now being implemented in El Cajon by the Cajon Valley School District and the El Cajon Police Department, while efforts to expand the program countywide are underway, according to the DA s office.
The San Diego County Office of Education has also provided training materials that include what behavior to be alert for and what to say in response. Children who experience trauma in the home often don t complete homework, do poorly on tests, and are withdrawn, District Attorney Summer Stephan said. This pilot program is a simple way we can alert teachers and school administrators and provide important context so they can monitor the child s behavior and provide support if necessary.
When a participating police officer responds to an incident and identifies a child who may have witnessed or experienced trauma, the officer will use the app to send an alert to the child’s school and teacher that reads simply, Handle with care. No specifics about the incident are shared with the school.
Dr. Shalon Nienow, M.D., the Medical Director of Child Abuse Pediatrics at the Chadwick Center for Children and Families at Rady Children’s Hospital said the extra support for students comes at such a critical time.
“We’ve seen a really significant uptick in our really egregious cases of abuse, like the ones that are causing kids to be admitted to the hospital. In November our numbers were up 140%. School is a safety net for a lot of kids, and they don’t have that safety net right now,” said Dr. Nienow.
Natomas Unified School District had 1,090 first grade students during 2018-2019 school year, according to the California Department of Education. Los Angeles Unified School District had the highest number of first grade students enrolled in California with 45,395.
According to numbers provided by the National Center for Education Services, California is expected to see a decrease of three percent in public elementary and secondary school enrollment from 2017-2029. The state expected to see the largest drop in enrollment is New Mexico with a projected 12 percent decrease, while Washington D.C. is projected to see a 14 percent increase over the same time period.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - A local family is grieving the loss of three loved ones to COVID-19 in the past several months, including a father and his daughter who died four days apart.
In mid-November, a few days after 78-year-old Santiago Covarrubias returned to San Diego from attending a funeral in Mexico, he was admitted into the ER. He tested positive for COVID-19, and a week later, he was placed on a ventilator. His daughter, Carmen, says in late November, her father, a grandfather of 10, passed away.
