MHS Academic Decathlon Team Meets President Obama - Ventura County Star
Board Vacancy Appointment: Given the current fiscal crisis and concerns with the cost of a special election, the Board of Education took action at its June 23, 2009 meeting to provisionally appoint Mindy Yaras to fill the remainder of David Pollock's term on the school board (November 2010). Mr. Pollock was elected to the City Council in May 2009. Ms. Yaras is a former Moorpark school board member who served the District from 1999 through 2008. Ms. Yaras' experience will provide continued stability for the School District as we navigate through this fiscal storm. She has pledged not to run for the seat in November 2010.

MUSD Budget Reduction Update - May 18, 2009
May 5, 2009 Swine Flu Update: We have been informed that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its guidance for schools regarding the prevention of the spread of the H1N1 virus, aka Swine Flu. Due to the fact that most cases have not been severe and comparable to seasonal influenza, schools will no longer be required to close.
What this means locally: We have been informed that our County Public Health Officer (Dr. Robert Levin) has contacted the Hueneme and Conejo Valley School Districts and lifted the student dismissal directive for their affected sites. We also anticipate receiving formal confirmation from Dr. Levin that no other schools will require the dismissal of students should a student or staff member become infected.
Please click here to be directed to the District's Health and Wellness page, which contains additional information and resources. Please click here to be directed to the Ventura County Public Health website for more information.
Congratulations to the MHS Academic Decathlon Team for winning the National Championship! Please join us at the welcoming home celebration that will be held tonight, April 27th, 7:30 PM at the Vons Center Parking lot.
