UPDATE TO SCHOOL MASKING REQUIREMENT
As you may have seen in yesterday's announcement, CSArts-SGV will be adjusting its protocols according to the recent update to state guidance, which makes masking in schools strongly recommended rather than required. Students and staff – regardless of vaccination status – will be allowed a choice when it comes to masking on campus, effective Monday, March 14. Prior to that date, indoor masking will still be required for all CSArts-SGV students and staff.

CSArts-SGV will continue to follow safety guidance and mitigation protocols from the California Department of Public Health, along with strongly respecting the masking choice of each individual. We ask the CSArts-SGV community to please treat others with consideration and respect as everyone navigates their own preferences.

Please stay tuned for an additional update next week on how this revised guidance will impact CSArts-SGV’s existing Event Patron and Performer Safety Policy. Thank you for your support!
