Scotts Valley Update On School Closures Covid-19 March 16-20

From the Scotts Valley Unified School District:

March 12, 2020

Dear SVUSD Families,

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we wade through unchartered territory related to the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.

Please read the attached letter that all County Superintendents collectively created after meeting today for a long period of time with Santa Cruz Public Health Director, Dr. Gail Newel.

I anticipate mixed reactions with this decision, but please know that we have been monitoring this situation closely and we collectively decided that we wanted to take precautions to reduce the transmission. We will continue to assess, and reassess.

I am sorry that this situation is occurring and hopeful we can work together as a community and be supportive and take care of those in need.

Sincerely,

Tanya Krause, Superintendent

Scotts Valley Unified School District
