Good morning Banning USD Community,
The Banning USD Leadership team has monitored Tropical Storm Hilary all weekend and early this morning; several crews have assessed any potential hazards and/or safety concerns to ensure that our facilities are safe and ready for students and staff to return. We have directly communicated with the City of Banning this morning and Riverside County Emergency Management officials to determine our schools are free of any potential safety hazards.
Schools will continue regular operations today, Monday, August 21st.
The safety of students and staff is of the utmost importance. We are aware that some families may be impacted and those with District transportation concerns will be contacted. Schools will be open and operational today to provide academic instruction for those who will be able to attend. We understand there are several impacts from the storm that may impede and/or interfere with some students being able to attend and/or participate in normal operations.
Thank you for your patience and please stay safe.
