The Redding School District is committed to serving our students and doing everything possible
to support their learning. As you may be aware, on August 11, 2021 a public health order
mandated all school employees, volunteers, and service contractors to participate in weekly
COVID-19 testing or show vaccination status. We are working with our labor partners and all
members of our community to comply with this mandate. We’ve been successful in our efforts
of offering all modifications and choices to our employees to make sure they are able to focus
on the education of your children. We will do our best to continue to innovate and maintain a
high quality educational program for all students.
District staff will continue to participate in state-wide discussions in regards to the topics listed
above. A letter signed by me was sent to our state leaders stating some of the concerns that
we have heard at our board meetings and in emails. I also continue to express those concerns
with regular emails to those same officials. The Redding School District Board continues to
support the personal and medical exemptions as an option for our families.
The Redding School District appreciates all the communication of support it has received over
the past months and year. Continuing to do our best to inform you of changing circumstances is
a top priority. We also recognize that closures are hardships for many families. Know that we
are committed to keeping the continuity of service for our students and making sure that our
published school calendar is kept intact. Barring a weather emergency, our schools will be open
every day as promised in the published calendar.
Finally, as we make our way through our holiday break and enter into a new year, I wish for you
to be encouraged by the successes of students within all of our programs. See you all again on
January 11, 2022 when students return.

Superintendent
Redding School District
