I want to start off by saying that I have the most dedicated and hard working Team here in the District 10 Office. We are focused on keeping everyone safe and responding to all issues and concerns throughout the district.

Our office is constantly updating and gathering information for list of City and State resources that you can access here: http://bit.ly/covid19d10

Students

Standardized Testing Suspended: To reduce the strain on students, families and educators during the COVID-19 outbreak, the governor waived, pending federal approval, this year’s statewide testing for California’s more than 6 million students in K-12 schools.

Childcare for Emergency Workers & Essential Workers

The Public Health Order issued on Monday, March 16^th requires San Franciscans to stay home, except for essential needs. Health care workers and other essential employees are exempt from the Order because their work is necessary to respond to COVID-19.

The Order allows childcare facilities to operate if they serve parents who work in essential businesses and comply with the following conditions to the extent possible:

1. Children must be cared for in stable groups of 12 or fewer.
2. Groups of children may not mix with each other.
3. Providers may not circulate between groups.
4. Common areas may be shared by multiple groups, however their use of these areas should be staggered as much as possible.

Recreation and Park Department’s emergency youth and child care centers follow social distancing and related COVID-19 sanitation and hygiene recommendations. Sites are limited to 12 children per site for smaller facilities and 24 children for larger facilities, split into two groups of 12 that do not interact, in accordance with the Order.

The emergency care program is available by invitation only. The Department of Human Resources is conducting outreach to Department of Public Health staff and Disaster Service Workers about the emergency care program. The Recreation and Park Department and the Department of Emergency Management are working together to conduct outreach to hospital and health care clinic staff.
