School district selects new special education coordinatorPaso Robles

School district selects new special education coordinator

It’s always nice to see familiar faces step into bigger roles, and that’s exactly what’s happening in our school district. According to the *Paso Robles Daily News*, Jennifer Thomas has been selected as the new Coordinator II of Special Education for Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. Jennifer isn’t new to our community—she’s been working right here in the district since 2017, which means she already knows our kids, our families, and the unique challenges and strengths of our local schools. For those of us with children in the district, or who have friends and neighbors navigating special education services, this appointment feels like a win. Having someone who’s already invested in Paso Robles means less “getting up to speed” and more focus on what really matters: making sure every student gets the support they need to thrive. It’s that kind of continuity and local knowledge that helps our little corner of the 805 feel a bit more connected. Here’s to Jennifer and the work ahead—welcome to the new role, even if the face is already a familiar one.

Sheriff’s Office warns of new phone scam in San Luis Obispo County

Well, neighbors, it looks like the scammers are getting creative again, and this time they’re pretending to be the Sheriff’s Office. According to the *Paso Robles Daily News*, a new phone scam is making the rounds in SLO County where callers impersonate law enforcement and demand payment for fake warrants. It’s a classic fear-based trick, but it hits close to home here in Paso, where we pride ourselves on trusting our local deputies and community safety. The Sheriff’s Office is clear: they will never call you out of the blue demanding money or gift cards for a warrant. If you get one of these calls, just hang up and report it. It’s a good reminder to slow down when we feel pressured—especially for those of us who remember when a phone call meant a friendly chat, not a high-stakes demand. Let’s keep looking out for each other and spread the word to anyone who might be caught off guard. So next time your phone rings with a scary story, take a breath. Call the Sheriff’s Office directly if you’re unsure. And as always, trust your gut—it’s usually right. Stay safe, Paso.

Police ask public to identify suspects in Home Depot theft

Well, neighbors, if you’ve been noticing a little extra hustle around the Home Depot off Highway 46 lately, you might be onto something. According to *Paso Robles Daily News*, police are asking for our help identifying two folks suspected in a theft at the store back on April 24. It’s the kind of story that hits close to home—literally—since that Home Depot is a go-to for so many of us, whether we’re grabbing lumber for a weekend project or just picking up potting soil for the vineyard view. What makes this more than just a police blotter item is how much we all rely on each other here in Paso. We’re a town where folks notice when something’s off, and that’s exactly what authorities are counting on. If you were shopping that afternoon or saw anything unusual, even a small detail could help close the case. It’s a reminder that keeping our community safe isn’t just the job of our local officers—it’s something we do together, over coffee and conversation. So take a peek at the surveillance images on the *Paso Robles Daily News* site, and if something clicks, give SLO PD a call.
