Dear FUSD Community:

Fontana Unified School District and all other school districts in San Bernardino County have decided to continue closures of all K-12 schools to students through May 1. This is a joint effort with San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and County of San Bernardino Department of Public Health to help slow the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our county.

Also, Governor Newsom announced that California is on a “stay at home” order effective March 19, 2020. At this time, the order does NOT change or impact our educational role as we are still considered essential, and we will have to continue innovative ways to carry out the following essential services:

• Meals being prepared and delivered to students.
• Any function associated with keeping the continuity of learning moving forward.

Please see the link for the full announcement and Executive Order from the Governor at https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/

For additional guidance on essential functions, and furthermore, our role as essential employees, please see information at https://www.cisa.gov/government-facilities-sector

The Education Facilities Subsector covers pre-kindergarten through grade 12 schools, institutions of higher education, and business and trade schools. The subsector includes facilities that are owned by both government and private sector entities.

I truly hope these blogs are helping answer a few questions you all may have.  Stay well and safe!

In partnership,

Mars Serna
Vice President
Fontana Board of Education
