MCDC Closing 3/17

MCDC community,

The board met today to discuss the plan for MCDC operations during these uncertain times. Our highest priority is the health and safety of the MCDC community, so we have decided to take the approach of being pro-active rather than reactive. In order to limit exposure, we will be open to Mission Essential personnel and those not authorized to telework with children at home only on Monday, 3/16. We will be conducting health checks on every child who comes in on Monday, so please be patient with our staff. We will close MCDC on Tuesday, 3/17, until further notice.

For the individual in MSFC who was tested positive for COVID-19, there is no confirmed trace back to MCDC. Despite that, we will be doing a deep cleaning of MCDC so that it is ready to be used again when we re-open. It is unknown when we will re-open since this is still a rapidly evolving situation, but as always, we will keep you continuously informed. 

A few notes:

- Per our operating policy, tuition is still owed regardless of MSFC status. Payments will be due upon re-opening MCDC. 

- Please contact Kelli for potential accommodations for those who are not eligible to telework or don't have alternative care. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 

Vicky Garcia, President

MCDC Board of Directors
