Although Vallejo schools are closed, the district will continue to provide meals “to all students who need them,” District Superintendent Adam Clark announced on Monday.
Starting Wednesday, the Vallejo City Unified School District will begin offering “grab and go” breakfast and lunch meals at five different Vallejo school sites.
They include:
Clark the side cafeteria doors facing Georgia Street.
• Jesse Bethel High School, 1800Ascot Parkway. Meals in the parking lot near the cafeteria/student union.
The non-congregate meal service will be provided through March 27.
Officials are also offering provisions which have been donated by the food bank, which will also be provided to families during meal services.
Meals and provisions will be provided on a first come first serve bases.
Standardize meal service hours are as follows: Breakfast — 8to 9a.m. Lunch 11 a.m. to noon
Also starting Wednesday, the district’s main office and school sites will be closed for non-appointment business.
Clark previously announced that all district schools were cancelled through the end of March. The district’s spring break begins in April and lasts two weeks. Students could return as early as April 13.
“VCUSD will offer multiple opportunities for Distance Learning, however, due to the fact that not all students have access to devices or Wi-Fi, participation is not required,” Clark added in his same announcement. “The only exception may be for individual situations, e.g., completing credit recovery courses online. Otherwise, all online work and resources is supplemental.”
Clark also said he would be providing regular updates through Parent Square and posts on the district’s website, https://vcusd-ca.schoolloop.com/.

In other news, Griffin Technology Academies will be closed through April 10, just like the Vallejo school district.
“Also, note that some counties are going into shelter-in-place mode, but as of this posting Solano County has not issued such an order,” said GTA Superintendent Matt Smith in a press release. “As such, until Solano County Office of Emergency Services orders a shelter-in-place, GTA will continue to provide limited site services, on the Mare Island Technology Academy campus, including a supervised computer lab for students and free food services for all community members 18 years and younger from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.”
The California State University Maritime Academy announced Monday afternoon that the university is suspending all in-person and virtual classes for the next two days “to allow for an orderly and safe departure of all cadets who are able to leave the campus.”
“For those cadets remaining on campus, particularly those who do not wish to travel to higher-risk areas at home, or who may not have alternative living arrangements, housing and dining services will still be available,” said university spokesman Bobby King in a news release.
King said all classes beyond 6 p.m. Monday were cancelled, with virtual courses expected to resume on Thursday.
All in-person classes are suspended through April 5, King said.
