All underneath a shark âfinâ popping off the second floor.

Itâs a $15 million project that has been in the works for years now, said Joshua Schultz, NCOE deputy superintendent.
Yet today, after more than a year of construction, the Napa County Office of Education (NCOE) is in the final stages of building a new school for Camille Creek students.

Abbas Alawieh, chief of staff for Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., takes a
break after sitting on the steps of Capitol Hill on Tuesday in
Washington. Bush has been camped outside the U.S. Capitol in
protest of the eviction moratorium lapse, since the weekend.
WASHINGTON â The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday issued a new moratorium on evictions that would last until October 3, as the Biden administration sought to quell intensifying criticism that it was allowing vulnerable renters to lose their homes during a pandemic.
The new moratorium could help keep millions in their homes as the coronavirusâ delta variant has spread and states have been slow to release federal rental aid. It would temporarily halt evictions in counties with âsubstantial and high levelsâ of virus transmissions and would cover areas where 90% of the U.S. population lives.
To the NVUSD Board of Trustees, Dr. Rosanna Mucetti, and Dr. Barbara Nemko: I would like to apologize if what I said was misinterpreted in a negative connotation during my public comment at the April 22, 2021 NVUSD Board meeting regarding ânot wanting to see my kids at Camille Creek or Valley Oak.â
When I am referring to âmy kids,â this is in reference to the over 500 children of Napa Valley, St. Helena and beyond that, I see yearly as a developmental optometrist. My patients are my family. I will always advocate for our childrenâs educational, emotional, social, and physical well-being so we can help our children before they need to be enrolled in Valley Oak High School or Camille Creek Community School.
This is a copy of the letter that was sent to the NVUSD Board on April 6.
As a pediatric optometrist serving the children in Napa Valley for the past 15 years, I would like to give my input to the Middle School Redesign Task Force. I have visited and supported many NVUSD schools as part of an IEP/504 team, school events, and fundraisers.
One of the best parts of my job is getting to see these Napa Valley children grow over the years and become independent adults in the working world. I have seen the success of NVUSDâs variety of curriculums to accommodate for the diverse learning styles of children such as: the dual immersion program at Napa Valley Language Academy continued through Harvest Middle School and Napa High School, Salvador to the now combined Willow Elementary, River Middle School, Stonebridge School and New Tech High School. These valuable school programs must be maintained, strengthened and expanded to continue the success of NVUSD.
