POUSD 2022-2023 School Year UpdateA message from Steve Charbonneau, Superintendent
Dear Piner-Olivet Community, Piner-Olivet Union School District (POUSD) is on the the move in 2022! In June 2022, California Department of Education (CDE) and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced the recipients of the CDE’s new 2022 California Pivotal Practice (CAPP) Award Program. This year, CAPP replaced the California Distinguished School Program to celebrate schools and districts that implemented innovative practice during the pandemic. It is my great honor to share with all of you that our District along with ALL 5 of our schools are recipients of the 2022 California Pivotal Practice Award! I am extremely proud, but not at all surprised. You see, this award is confirmation of something I already knew. Our staff worked tirelessly and modeled an innovative spirit in providing our students the best learning experiences possible in the context of a pandemic. Indeed, the CDE considers POUSD staff the "best of the best". Well done! In other exciting news, Measure L Bond funds have benefitted the students of POUSD, with much work taking place over the summer. Fire abatement projects, to improve the safety of our school sites are complete. Olivet and Northwest Prep have both been painted. And, a much needed Wifi infrastructure update is planned for this fall. Student learning is being positively impacted by Measure L. We are grateful! Warmly, Steve Respectfully, Steve Charbonneau |
