San Diego
The San Diego Unified School District will apply for a five-year, $625,000 federal health grant to teach AIDS prevention to children in grades 6 through 12, the Board of Education voted Tuesday. The district will be in competition with other boards for the money from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. If granted the funds this summer, San Diego next spring will expand its present AIDS prevention efforts that cover students in the 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Without the extra money, the district AIDS program will remain at the present level.
