    From Shortie Smith, AASD Member in Good Standing –  “I want to give a HUGE shout out to Samantha Clabaugh, Operations Specialist, Physical Plant Operations. Her work on the weekly PPO COVID update newsletter has been greatly appreciated. Not only is it informative but she writes with an encouraging tone that gives us hope that we can get through this very trying time.”

     
  • FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS (ACSA) – CLARIFICATION ON GOVERNOR’S FACE COVERING ORDER
    Yesterday , Gov. Newsom issued a statewide mandate requiring face coverings to be worn in most public settings. The order specifically exempts schools and childcare settings. 

    Details released by the California Department of Public Health states that people must wear face coverings when in high-risk situations, such as indoor public spaces. There is, however, a footnote that permits the exemption of schools and childcare centers. This is interpreted as the reopening school guidance from CDPH and California Department of Education superseding the face covering mandate. 

    Per
    CDPH, face coverings “should” be worn by school staff and students are “encouraged” to use face coverings. CDE’s guidance also states that school staff and students “should” wear face coverings. The term “should” is passive and therefore not a requirement. Face coverings in school settings remain a recommendation only.
