COVID-19 Resources
The Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic has radically altered our lives and the way we interact with one another. The school environment has and will continue to be impacted for the foreseeable future until we have a vaccine or we achieve herd immunity. During that time, Santa Barbara Charter School will take all reasonable measures to protect the health of our students and staff.
The purpose and intent of the re-entry plan is to provide for a smooth and safe reopening of school in the 2020-21 school year. Santa Barbara Charter School is committed to balance the health and safety of its students, staff, and families while continuing to provide an educational program committed to our vision of educating students in the arts, academics, and relationships. Our intent is to optimize instructional time and support the social and emotional needs of our students and staff, within the given health and safety guidelines.
Any level of school reentry will have some risk of increased virus transmission of the disease to students, staff, and the community. This plan is based on the various guidelines issued by the California Department of Education (CDE Reentering Schools Guidelines), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department (SBCPH).
