Good Evening,
Thank you all for your support, communication, and flexibility in this time of navigating a very fluid and unique health situation. As an administrative team, we are in regular contact with state and local leaders in the education sector and public health to help determine our best course forward for our students and staff.
Following the press conference by Gavin Newsom this afternoon, all Butte County school leaders participated in a call with Mary Sakuma, Butte County Superintendent, along with Dr. Miller from Butte County Public Health. The following is the press release from Mary Sakuma from 6pm this evening:
After much deliberation and consultation with school leaders around the county, as well as consultation with our Public Health Officer, I have made the recommendation to close all in-person instruction in schools in Butte County effective
Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27, 2020
. This will allow schools the needed time to assess the needs of their communities and to develop a plan for providing support to students and their families.
With this recommendation, we will be meeting with our CCDS Board tomorrow with the closure of school through March 27th on our agenda. After the meeting tomorrow, we will have additional information to share. It is fortunate that this week is our regularly scheduled spring break. We hope for the health of our community and are grateful for you all being a part of the CCDS family. Thank you again for your flexibility and perspective while we navigate through these changes to our school calendar.
Best Regards,
Wendy
