  • A 58-SECOND VIDEO MESSAGE FROM ALL OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS
    Every San Diego County school district superintendent, from the coast to the mountains and desert, came together from a distance for this video message to the community. As this unprecedented school year wraps up, these district leaders want students, families, and community members to know we'll get through the COVID-19 pandemic together. Since schools closed to prevent the spread of the virus, school staff has been working hard to support students, and teachers have come up with innovative ways to keep kids engaged at home. While seniors graduate and other grades promote to the next level, educators are looking forward to when they can celebrate these remarkable students in person.           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d95pYhlqaj4
