Citing national security, he would not say when more troops were expected to be deployed or predict when they might return. Troops sent out of Travis include mission support staff, such as mechanics and people who load and unload cargo from aircrafts. About a third of the country's fleet of C-5s are based at Travis, each of which can hold the equivalent of six Greyhound buses. And wherever they are sent, the planes and the personnel are ready, Reed said. We're standing by to do our job.
Someone calls the local school district asking about a registered sex offender in the area.
Vacaville school trustees will hear the answer Thursday when administrators detail a new policy outlining how the district informs the public about sex offenders living or working in the area or in places where students travel for school-related activities. What's been a matter of practice for years would thus be codified into policy, said Superintendent Rich Jackson. Jackson said he has not been alerted of any problems recently and added that the policy does not stem from a random attack on a local child two years ago. Wells is now back in prison, serving a term of 30 years to life. Since Megan's Law went into effect last July, sheriff's and police departments throughout the state have been required to provide information on the state's 57,000 most serious sex offenders.
