In response to the ongoing spread of the coronavirus, and through the recommendations of Governor Gavin Newsom and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Ted Alejandre released a statement yesterday (Wednesday, April 1), recommending all county school districts remain closed through the rest of the 2019-2020 school year in the interest of the health and safety of students, staff, and families. Morongo Unified School District Superintendent Tom Baumgarten released a letter stating that the MUSD school board will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, April 7, to discuss a resolution that, if adopted, would extend the school closure through June 10. Baumgarten went on to say that MUSD will continue to provide students with both distance-learning opportunities and student meals throughout the closure.
