We have been following the guidance of public health experts on how we can keep all who are part of our school community -- students, staff, family members and visitors -- safe in the midst of a growing health crisis.
Effective Monday, March 16, all adult education schools, occupational and skills centers will be closed through May 1, 2020 while we evaluate the appropriate path forward.
We are taking this step to keep our school communities safe.
All adult education activities scheduled to take place at all schools in the district have been cancelled for the duration of the school closure, including classes, testing sessions, counseling services, and community events. Before reopening the school, we will deep clean the campus.
