Due to the spread of COVID-19,  the Board of Education on March 13 suspended in-class instruction through April 3.  Since then, the suspension has been twice extended – first to April 30 and, most recently, through the end of the school year (June 8, 2020).

For the first three weeks, students were provided with optional digital and non-digital distance learning opportunities. On April 6, the district launched formal distance learning opportunities facilitated by teachers  and guided by suggested schedules for all grades. At the same time, all other AUSD departments have also been working to manage and adapt to conditions created by this global pandemic.

Tonight, Superintendent Pasquale Scuderi and members of his Executive Cabinet team will give the Board and public an update on how the AUSD is responding to COVID-19. This update will include reports from Human Resources, Business Services, Teaching and Learning, Student Support Services, and Community Affairs. Particular detail will be paid to the implementation of the formal Distant Learning Opportunities and insights gathered over the first week of that implementation.
