FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 1, 2020
CHINO VALLEY, AZ- The Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) Governing Board followed the recommendation of Superintendent John Scholl and voted today to return to distance learning on all campuses beginning Monday December 7, 2020 until the end of the semester, December 17, 2020.
This will result in eight school days of distance learning. The plan is to return to in-person learning when class resumes on January 4, 2021. This allows students, staff, and parents to receive needed materials through the remainder of this week in preparation for Monday distance learning.
Yavapai County Community Health Services Director Leslie Horton joined the Board meeting via phone to deliver her recommendations.
“Schools have done an incredible job in mitigating the spread in the classrooms across the county,” said Horton, adding that more steps need to be taken to help protect the students and staff.
“I can definitely support any districts decision to move back to on-line schooling,” said Horton. She added that she views this as a last resort and “the best place for the students is in the classroom.”
The CVUSD posts current case numbers on the districts web site, www.chinovalleyschools.com, under the COVID-19 tab.
The Board and district administration will be evaluating the situation daily and updating the public of any potential changes to this status as soon as possible.

March 15th @ 3:54 PM - Governor Ducey Closes Schools through March 27
Dear Arizona families, educators, school leaders, and education community members,
In our roles as Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction, we stand united in working with you to keep Arizona’s kids, families, and school communities safe and healthy.
Over the past few weeks and in coordination with public health officials, we have been in close communication with school administrators to provide guidance and be a resource as it relates to the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The health and safety of all our students is our top priority, and we’ve worked hard to keep our school doors open — these are important assets in people's lives and many families rely on them for nutrition and access to health care.
Both of our staffs have been working together in partnership through the weekend, and we’ve been in touch with educational leaders on the frontlines. Currently, staffing and potential absences are a concern in many districts. Many schools and school districts have announced closures.
Today, we are jointly announcing the closure of all schools from Monday, March 16, 2020 through Friday, March 27, 2020. We will continue to work together and assess this situation on a 24/7 basis.
It’s important for families and parents to know that while this will address operational issues, doing this will not stop the spread of COVID-19.
The safest place for children during this time is at home. They should not be cared for by elderly adults or those with underlying health conditions, including grandparents and other family members.
Additionally, we are committed to working together to minimize the impact of these closures. To that end, we are assembling resources and forming community partnerships that will reduce the impact of these closures on families, teachers, and school communities.
Efforts are underway to ensure that any child has access to meals while schools are closed. We have also worked with USDA to allow schools to begin summer food service operations and provide boxed meals as needed. Your local school will have more information about how and where to access meals.
We understand many parents have questions about childcare options. It is the recommendation of public health officials that kids who are not at school remain at home to the greatest extent possible. For families for whom that’s not an option, we are coordinating with partners in the non-profit, faith-based and education communities to make available childcare options to families who need it.
For our dedicated school employees, we’re working together to make sure you don’t see any disruption to your pay. We’ll also be consulting with our district and legislative partners to determine the extent of any potential makeup days.
Many parents, teachers, and administrators may have questions about statewide testing. We’re currently engaging with our federal partners in the event that we need to secure a waiver.
The Department of Education will provide additional guidance to schools that will be posted to azed.gov. For the latest information about COVID-19, please visit azhealth.gov. This website is updated daily with new information.
We will continue to remain in close contact with state and public health officials to provide the most up-to-date information and ensure that the State of Arizona is doing everything we can to keep every member of our community healthy and safe.
We are asking schools to please adhere to the following measures during this period of closure:
School administrators should make every effort to provide continued education learning opportunities through online resources or materials that can be sent home.
School administrators should develop a plan to continue breakfast and lunch services for Arizona students.
As demand rises on healthcare professionals and first responders, schools should expand child care programs currently available to ensure minimal disruption to these critical jobs as a result of the school closure.
When school resumes, school administrators should develop and implement precautions to ensure schools are a safe learning environment, including social distancing measures, regular intervals for administrators to wash and sanitize their hands, and guidance on how to properly and frequently sanitize election equipment and common surfaces.
Sincerely,
Governor Doug Ducey & Superintendent Kathy Hoffman
March 15th @ 1:00 PM - CVUSD Closes Schools through March 19
Dear Chino Valley Staff, Families, and Community Members,
After carefully monitoring the latest developments in the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation including a national declaration of emergency and considering the input of community members and staff, the Chino Valley Unified School District Governing Board made the decision to close all Chino Valley School campuses to students and the public, effective Monday, March 16. This closure will remain in effect through at least Thursday, March 19.
Although there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Yavapai County, we realize there is still great concern among our community about how this disease could spread in our schools, and ultimately to the greater community, despite all of the measures taken and planned for the future. Today’s decision, although difficult, is being made in consideration of the overall health of our community.
The Chino Valley Unified School District Governing Board is appreciative of the community and staff that helped guide this decision. In addition to closing all schools to students and the public, the following measures are also taking place:
All after school clubs and athletics are cancelled until further notice.
All school-related events including athletics, including practices and games are cancelled until further notice.
Preschool and daycare programs are cancelled until further notice.
CTED classes will continue in an online format until further notice.
For all children in the community who are 18 years old and younger, free breakfast and free lunch will be available as a drive-thru, grab and go. These free meals will be offered at Territorial Early Childhood Center, between 7:00 and 8:30 AM (breakfast) and again between 11:00 and 1:00 (lunch).
Despite this adversity, we are committed to continuing to deliver high-quality instruction for which Chino Valley has been known for more than 100 years. District leadership is meeting to define additional details for our staff. Future developments will continue to be communicated through email, our website (www.chinovalleyschools.com), and Facebook. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this unprecedented public health challenge.
Sincerely,
John Scholl
Superintendent

March 13th - CVUSD Health Recommendations
Dear Chino Valley Families and Staff,
Several school superintendents participated in a conference call with Governor Doug Ducey, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Director Dr. Cara Christ. Currently, the ADHS is NOT recommending school closures or the cancellation of after school activities including athletics and concerts. Any future decisions regarding school closures will be made in consultation with local health officials as we continue to work closely with the Yavapai County Health Department.
Student and staff safety is important to us. We are asking all students and staff experiencing any symptoms of illness to follow regular illness protocols which include staying home until all symptoms subside for a period of 24 hours.
Our maintenance staff provided a deep cleaning of our school sites over this break. When we return to school next week, we will continue to provide daily disinfecting of classrooms and all high traffic areas and encourage students to wash their hands frequently.
As information changes, we will provide regular updates through our autodialer, email, on our website and social media.
Sincerely,
John Scholl, Superintendent
