Hello Scotts Valley Community,
As we are moving into the winter months, similar to last year, CDPH and local Public Health have added more restrictions and mandates, especially for indoor activities.
Recently, CDPH put out updated guidance and requirements specifically related to indoor extracurricular activities, including youth sports. Please know that school districts are being mandated to adhere to these requirements, and we are also held responsible for doing so. Complaining to me or the site administrators, unfortunately, does not change the CDPH mandates that we are held responsible to uphold. School Districts in Santa Cruz County continue to try and work with our local Public Health Department on these issues and concerns.
Please read the attached letter from the Santa Cruz County Superintendents on this most recent update.
Thank you,
Tanya Krause, Superintendent
SVUSD
