Letter to PAUSD Board & Dr. Austin

The Ohlone PTA Executive Board met on Monday, September 28th and voted unanimously to advocate for a modified Distance Learning program that will preserve the continuity of the unique Ohlone education model. We sent a letter to the Board of Education with our recommendations to keep the Ohlone community together, regardless of which of the two reopening plans parents choose. We believe that preserving the integrity of the Ohlone choice program to the maximum extent possible, including both access to Ohlone teachers, curriculum, and specials would have significant benefits to Ohlone students and families. Please find the letter in its entirety below:
