PUSD COVID-19 Protocols for Entry by Essential Employees to District Sites Effective May 4, 2020
Although this section is directed at PUSD employees, we want to inform families and the general public about the measures that PUSD is taking to keep our community healthy and safe.

To meet the needs of our students while maintaining the safety of all employees, students, families, and our community during COVID-19, PUSD is implementing protocols for entry onto District property by PUSD essential employees effective May 4, 2020.  All District schools and offices remain closed to the public and to non-essential employees and individuals without exception until further notice.   

Schools:  All District school sites are closed to non-essential employees and individuals without exception effective May 4, 2020, and until the Governor’s Executive Order is lifted.

• Non-essential school site employees must request school site access in writing from their principal or site supervisor 24 hours in advance. The principal/site supervisor will review and forward requests to a district-level Designated School Closure Coordinator.
• If access is granted to non-essential individuals, the access time and location will be identified in writing. Access will be granted to a specific location on the school site for a specific and limited time.
