Because the State does not provide complete or reliable funding for facilities, schools cannot maintain safe learning environments that meet current instructional standards without a local funding source. In order to complete identified repairs and improvements across all school sites, the CUSD Board of Trustees is considering placing a local bond measure on the ballot next year for local voters to consider. To learn more, please visit www.ceres.k12.ca.us/page/facilities-upgrades.
Monday, Oct. 30 is a non-student day as our staff engage in district-wide professional learning. We’ll look forward to seeing students back at school on Tuesday, Oct. 31. 🎃
