The wintertime homeless shelter that has continuously housed some of Napaâs most vulnerable residents through the coronavirus pandemic will finally close in mid-June, ending more than a year and a half of nearly continuous operation.
Napa County will close shelter operations at the Napa Valley Expo June 15, according to county spokesperson Janet Upton. The closing date, two months later than the end of the typical winter shelter season, will conclude an unexpectedly lengthy run for a program that switched to year-round operation in March 2020, when the spreading COVID-19 emergency led the county to house its unsheltered population as quickly as possible.

To the NVUSD board: I am very proud to have served on the districtâs Board of Trustees from 1992 to 1996. During my term, the district accomplished a number of important initiatives: hiring Dr. David Brown as school superintendent; passage of the first successful school bond in many years; the beginning of the American Canyon Middle School; the planning for and the opening of New Tech High School (I was pleased to serve as the boardâs liaison to that effort); and the opening of the River School as NVUSDâs first charter school.
The decision to open the River School was the result of a lengthy process that thoroughly analyzed the benefits and disadvantages of forming a new middle school with a fundamentally different approach to education and doing so within the structure of a charter school. As a result of that process, River School was ultimately offered a home at the newly opened Harvest Middle School at the old Ridgeview site.
