Superintendent of the Yuba City Unified School District
2020: . was a year that started out just like any other year for our district. The pandemic hit and in March 2020, our district, staff and families had to abruptly shift to distance learning. This has been a difficult year for all⦠we have had to learn to be flexible and adaptable. Our staff has worked very hard to meet the needs of our students and families and I am very proud of them.
2021: My hope for 2021 is a return to ânormalâ for our students, staff, and families. I want to see students and staff in classrooms as soon as is safely possible. I want our students to have prom, graduation, athletic competitions, and extra-curricular activities very soon. I am hopeful that our community will work together to re-flatten the COVID curve which will help reopen our schools.
