The search for Melissa and Violeta leads the local watch for Monday, Nov. 9, with a school strike and preparations to demolish a damaged condo tower also in focus.

  • Search for Melissa and Violeta. The collective Una Luz Para Nuestros Desaparecidos says it joined Jalisco’s search commission for field operations Saturday and Sunday. The families have been pressing for searches on the ground since the two young women disappeared after traveling to Vallarta for a purported job.
  • Punta Paraíso in San Pancho. Bahía de Banderas is preparing to take down the damaged Tower 1, giving the owners and developer a chance to submit their own demolition plan. Officials estimate the work will take about 90 days once it gets underway.
  • School strike in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. Nearly 300 CETMAR 06 students are affected by an indefinite teachers’ strike over unpaid benefits and other compensation. Families are waiting for a date to resume classes.
  • Revolution Day parade registration. Vallarta’s public and private schools can still register their groups for the Nov. 20 parade. Registration closes Wednesday, Nov. 11.
  • Free human rights course. Registration is open through Nov. 15 for the city’s 120-hour course on human rights, equality and peacebuilding. The course begins Nov. 16 and combines in-person and online sessions.
