Greetings Parents of Grace Christian School,
Many of you may have heard about a waiver to reopen schools. Please be advised official information was made available from the State level to Tulare County level the second week of August regarding what the procedure to submit a waiver for approval. “The waiver is applicable only for grades TK-6, even if the grade configuration at the school includes additional grades. Governor Gavin Newsom announced that if a county has been on the monitoring list withing the prior 21 days, a school must conduct distance learning only, until the county has been off the monitoring list for at least 21 days. Elementary schools in counties on the monitoring list within the prior 21 days may not open for in-person instruction until they have received approval for a submitted waiver from the local health officer.”
Per information received from Tulare County on August 10th- “While waivers are not being approved, Tulare County Public Health will be working with schools to develop them for the eventual reopening.” In my weekly meetings with the California Nevada Hawaii Lutheran School Principals we were encouraged to submit the waiver for our entire student body. Therefore, we are submitting the waiver for 1st – 8th grades of Grace Christian School.
The Tulare County waiver criteria requires:
