Booster Seat Laws Change - Effective January 1, 2012, the age to which children must remain in a car booster seat has increased to eight. Parents must properly buckle up all children to age eight into a car seat or booster seat in the back seat of the car. Children age eight or older who are not tall enough (4'9") for the seat belt to fit properly must ride in a booster or car seat. The price for violating this law is steep, and police can ticket parents or the driver: tickets start at $475 for each child not properly secured. In addition, drivers can be ticketed and receive a violation point on their driving record. Here is a link to the Alameda Sun Article:

Below is the link to the new car seat law. If you're interested you can backtrack through this site and get the legislative history and plain-English analyses of the bill.

Franklin third-grader Cora Abrams-McCabe read a sample of her work to the Board and fifth-graders Max Palmer, Dylan Aubrejuan, and Thomas Zenner lead the flag salute at the opening of the meeting. They all rose to the occasion and did a wonderful job.
