Dear Compton Unified School District,

You are extraordinary! This year was an exceptional year because of the great achievements of our students and staff, but also because you all rose to the challenge of an unprecedented pandemic and school site closure. This challenge was remarkable to say the least, but we thrived through this remarkable challenge because of the remarkable students, parents, teachers, administrators, partners and Board of Trustees.

You are what has made the 2019-2020 school year such an important and landmark year, not COVID-19. We came together as school communities and as a district on behalf of our students that has always been a part of our mission, but it a way that we could have never imagined.

With that said, I want to thank you and congratulate you for a job well done. As we go into the summer, I want to share with you that we will be working in earnest to develop a school reopening plan that centers the well-being and safety of students. We will be communicating those plans after we have received guidance from the Centers of Disease Control and the California Department of Public Health.

In the meantime, please have a safe and fun summer. We hope that if you have a child who is a student, you will take advantage of our great virtual summer offerings. I look forward to returning in the Fall and continue to elevate access to a great education and enriching experiences for our Compton Scholars.

I look forward to returning in the Fall so we can continue to elevate access to a great education and enriching experiences for our Compton Scholars.
