MEDIA ADVISORY San Diego Unified School District News Conference

 

 

 

Friday, March 13, 2020

 

MEDIA ADVISORY: News Conference to Discuss School Closures  

 

 

WHAT: News Conference to discuss the decision to close San Diego Unified School District schools effective March 16 to prevent spread of COVID-19.

 

WHEN: Friday, March 13, 2020, 2 p.m. 

 

WHERE: Eugene Brucker Education Center, 4100 Normal St., San Diego, CA 92103 

 

Speakers: Superintendent Cindy Marten, members of the Board of Education, staff members, and community partners will speak about the decision by San Diego Unified School District and Los Angeles Unified School District to close schools effective March 16 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

 

BACKGROUND:  The Los Angeles Unified School District and the San Diego Unified School District, the two largest districts in California, serving more than 750,000 students combined, announced today that both will close, effective Monday, March 16, in an effort to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Superintendent Marten and Los Angeles Superintendent Austin Beutner spoke by phone early this morning. They have issued the following joint statement:

“California has now entered a critical new phase in the fight to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic,” they said. “There is evidence the virus is already present in the communities we serve, and our efforts now must be aimed at preventing its spread. We believe closing the state’s two largest school districts will make an important contribution to this effort. For that reason, we plan to close, effective Monday, March 16.

“Later today, we will be providing students, parents and staff with more information on our plans to continue providing learning opportunities for students during the closure. We have also directed staff at both districts to prepare to continue providing nutrition and other supports through family resource facilities.”

The boards of Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified School Districts have unanimously approved this action. San Diego Unified plans to reopen schools on April 6th, unless conditions call for an extension.

NEWS RELEASE - Bell Middle School, Miracle League of San Diego, Celebrate Opening Day of Ballfield for Children with Disabilities

News Release

Bell Middle School, Miracle League of San Diego, Celebrate Opening Day of Ballfield for Children with Disabilities

 

March 7, 2020

 

SAN DIEGO - Talk about a “Field of Dreams.” The Opening Day of Games for the Miracle League of San Diego kicked off Saturday at a unique ballfield recently built  at Bell Middle School.

 

Made of rubberized material, the new playfield is a safe and accessible surface ideal for students with special needs. 

 

 “All students [and children] are worthy of opportunities and, when given opportunities, they can accomplish anything,” said Precious Jackson-Hubbard, Bell Middle School Principal.

 

Spectators at the event included Superintendent Cindy Marten and her developmentally disabled brother, Charley, as well as Board of Education Trustee Dr. Sharon Whitehurst-Payne. 

 

“Charley has inspired me in so many ways,” said Marten. “Because of him, I knew early that I wanted to pursue a career that helps uplift all students.”  

 

When planning and designing the field, San Diego Unified developed a partnership with the Miracle League of San Diego (MLSD) and the San Diego Padres. 

 

As part of their “Padres Thank SD” initiative to commemorate their 50th anniversary in 2019, the Padres selected the Miracle League of San Diego as a recipient of $60,000 in special funding. Their contribution, along with matching funds raised by the Miracle League of San Diego, funded a shade structure covering the bleachers as well as a solar powered scoreboard. 

 

The Miracle League, in turn, facilitates weekend use of the field, providing children with disabilities an opportunity to play baseball in an organized league. The Miracle League of San Diego operates a spring and fall season at Bell Middle School, in addition to their original location in San Dieguito Park.

"The Miracle League of San Diego is extremely grateful for all of the love and support this community has provided us,” commented Kyle O'Malley, Program Director at Miracle League of San Diego. “The completion of two major capital projects, a permanent shade structure and solar scoreboard, would not have been possible without the support of our longtime community partner, the San Diego Padres.”

Board of Education Trustee, Dr. Sharon Whitehurst-Payne, who represents District E and has worked in special education, also expressed her admiration of the field.  

 

“This type of engagement is so crucial to their success in the real world,” said Whitehurst-Payne. 

 

The $1.8 million ballfield at Bell Middle School is funded by San Diego Unified’s Propositions S and Z, which are local bond measures to repair, renovate and revitalize local neighborhood schools. 

 

A more detailed fact sheet of both the Bell Middle sports fields project and the scoreboard and shade structures project can be found here.
