KHSD COVID-19 Update
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bakersfield, CA
Based upon recommendations from the California Department of Health (CDPH) and in conjunction
with Kern County Public Health and Kern County Superintendent of Schools, the Kern High School
District is canceling all athletic and academic competitions, all theatre, music, and other
performances, all field trips, and all staff professional development effective immediately and through
April 14, 2020. The District will continue to evaluate the situation and will extend the cancellation date
as needed.
At this time, the experts at Kern County Public Health do not recommend school closures.
Given that schools are an essential service that provide education, meals, and other resources for
students and their families, school will remain open and on their normal schedules at this time. This
includes normally scheduled practices.
The Kern High School District will continue to work with Kern County Public Health and Kern County
Superintendent of Schools to monitor and assess information in this rapidly changing situation. For
