San Diego Unified School District announced Sunday it is postponing its first day of school from Monday to Tuesday due to Tropical Storm Hilary, while all other county districts said so far they have no plans to cancel classes.
“Postponing the first day will allow us to assess any impacts to sites and district offices and ensure that we are prepared to welcome our students and families to the new school year,” he said, adding that Monday will remain a work day for district staff to prepare campuses for students’ return.Borrego Springs, Lakeside and Ramona school districts had scheduled Monday as their start to the new year and, currently, have no plans to change that.
“If there is any indication of a circumstance that would impact our normal school operations, we will notify you,” Anne Staffieri, San Dieguito Union High School District superintendent, told district staff. “It really is looking at being cautious while fulfilling fundamental duty because we also know that schools are places where kids get meals, where they learn, places where they’re safe,” she said.
