SMMUSD Town Hall Meeting Agendas And Details Now Online

Press release from Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District:

June 28, 2020

The town hall meeting agendas to share with our school district community three potential models for reopening schools in the fall have been posted online.

These possible models for reopening are based on health guidelines, parent and staff survey results, and our district’s available resources.

The virtual town hall meeting dates are:
• Santa Monica elementary school community members – June 30 at 6 p.m.
• Santa Monica secondary school community members – July 1 at 6 p.m.
• Malibu school community members – July 7 at 6 p.m.

After reading the agenda and attached presentation, members of the public can submit questions ahead of time using an online form (the link is at the top of the agenda). (Please note that each special meeting will have its online form link.) It is anticipated that many members of the public will have similar questions, and this process will allow questions to be aggregated by topic, leading to a smoother process. While the link to the online form will remain live during the town hall meeting, please note that staff might not have a chance to review your question if it is submitted fewer than 24 hours prior to the meeting.

As county departments of health release their implementation plans for schools to reopen in response to the California Department of Education’s health guidelines, school districts across the state are developing multiple reopening models to consider that attempt to best meet their community’s various needs, while complying with the health guidelines.

The Zoom link for each meeting is posted at the top of that date’s agenda.

Spanish translation will be available Saturday and both will be posted on all school websites in the What's Happening section on the home page.
