Overview
- Elmer’s Tacos hosted a community fundraiser Wednesday that sent 100% of sales from Jayben’s signature dish to his family, along with added donations and a share of other sales.
- Police said Jayben Camacho, 16, was hit in front of Chandler High while crossing outside a crosswalk, and the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated.
- Jayben’s parents said he chose to donate his organs, and recipients include a 15-year-old who received his heart, a baby who received part of his liver, and a 35-year-old Arizona woman who received a pancreas and a kidney.
- Chandler Unified launched a Safety and Security Advisory Committee to craft recommendations, with the first meeting set for April 21 at the district office.
- The committee will examine student lunch rules, and the district says Chandler High’s open lunch is a long-standing tradition rather than a response to cafeteria capacity, which the school says can serve its student body.
