We have received communications from some members of our community regarding school closure. We know the feedback is being provided out of care and concern for our children and community. Although we can’t reply to each individual communication, we do take the input seriously.
The paragraph below is a statement collectively crafted by the Champlain Valley Superintendents Association:
This morning, superintendents from Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle County participated in a meeting with Dr. Mark Levine, the Commissioner of Health from the Vermont Department of Health, and Vermont’s Education Secretary, Dan French. We learned that Governor Scott will be holding an important press conference at 5:30 pm today that should provide new and specific information for all Vermonters to follow. We anticipate that the guidance will include broad-based health recommendations, information on potential school closure and/or dismissal, the role of schools in mitigating COVID-19, updated travel recommendations, and what individuals can do to keep safe including social distancing. Once the Governor has provided direction, district leadership will determine the next steps for their schools and will be back in touch with families and staff as quickly as they can.
We are aware that there are many questions regarding the implications of any decision around school closure. Please know that the district is working diligently to address these issues and will be communicating additional information as we know it.
Extracurriculars: With the exception of the CVU theater performance tonight, all extra-curricular activities in the district are canceled until further notice.
Thank you for your continued understanding and patience during this challenging time.
The Champlain Valley School District Administration
