COVID-19 Response

In response to the escalating coronavirus pandemic and new guidance from state leaders, schools have made the decision to provide distance learning to all students for the remainder of the academic year.

On April 1, both California Gov. Gavin Newson and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond urged all districts to close schools for the rest of the school year out of an abundance of caution. With the number of coronavirus cases sharply on the rise, health officials warn that the situation could get much worse if social distancing restrictions are relaxed too early. Extending these restrictions — and keeping students out of schools — is essential to slowing the spread of the virus and saving lives.
