Late Sunday night superintendents with Carlsbad Unified School District, San Dieguito Union High School District, and Poway Unified School District announced they did not get their waivers approved by the state to resume in-person instruction.
The three superintendents Ben Churchill, Ed.D., with CUSD; Robert Haley, Ed.D., with SDUHSD; and Marian Kim Pheps, Ed.D., with PUSD each said they spoke directly with Dr. Naomi Bardach, lead of the Safe Schools for All Team for the state of California, and asked she appeal the decision, but said Bardach was unwilling to change the ruling and said the decision was final.
POWAY (KUSI) – Dr. Naomi Bardach, Lead of California’s Safe Schools for All Team, informed the Poway Unified School District that their application to expand in-person teaching for middle and high school students was not approved by the California Department of Public Health.
Cohorts of students are not able to remain in one classroom with a single teacher for the entire day, since secondary students have multiple teachers, courses, and schedules, Dr. Bardach told PUSD Superintendent Marian Kim Phelps.
Even after a complete review, PUSD’s application had the full support of the San Diego County Public Health Officer, Dr. Wilma Wooten, and her team.
San Dieguito Union High School District, Poway Unified School District, and Carlsbad Unified School District cannot resume in-person learning, according to CDPH
