MADERA - After careful deliberation with health agencies, local officials, and a special school board meeting, Madera Unified School District has decided to extend the school closures to Friday, May 1, 2020, to limit the community spread of COVID-19.
With continuing consultation and review of the COVID-19 situation and guidance from the Madera County Department of Public Health, the schools will reevaluate the possibility of reopening on May 4, 2020. The reopening of schools will be based on both safety conditions and the current information available from local, state and federal officials at that time.
Madera Unified Superintendent Todd Lile said, “We understand how challenging these decisions are for our families and we appreciate your patience and support. We are very grateful for all that our students, staff, and parents are doing to support the safety and continuity of education.”
The following is intended to provide you with more details and support during our extended closure.
