FROM BOLINAS-STINSON SCHOOL DISTRICT: School Closure Update: Schools across Marin including Bolinas-Stinson and Lagunitas will remain closed today, Thursday October 30. An early morning conference call with PG&E and Marin OES let us know that most of Marin still does not have power. Additional shutdowns may occur today in places (like Bolinas) where power has been restored: The Kincaid Fire in Sonoma County may threaten power lines that would force additional shutdowns throughout Marin. We are hopeful that we will be able to re-open school on Thursday and will post updates throughout the day today. Again, thanks for your patience and please stay safe.

FROM BOLINAS-STINSON SCHOOL DISTRICT: Bolinas-Stinson School will be closed tomorrow, Monday October 28. New developments in the region with planned power outages, wild fires and compromised phone communications have made it such that opening school as we had planned would not be safe. Many school staff members live in areas that are being affected by outages and fires making it difficult for us to staff the school. Our phone communication has also been impacted to the point where safety would be substantially compromised. Principal Michelle Stephens and I have been in regular communication over the weekend and after updates from the Office of Emergency Services, we both agree that it will be safer for students and staff to remain at home tomorrow. We will continue to post updates as conditions change.

The Bolinas-Stinson School will be open on Monday, October 28th, even if we do not have power. We have checked with emergency services, our facilities team, and staff to ensure that students will be safe and will have adequate conditions for learning. If you need to reach the school when the power is out, please call 415-868-9406. We will have normal Monday AM & PM bus runs. The lunch menu may be different then what is posted due to the outage. We will evaluate the situation on a day-to-day basis and John and I will keep you updated on any changes in status. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you all Monday morning with or without power!

FROM BOLINAS-STINSON SCHOOL DISTRICT: The Office of Emergency Services has notified us that Bolinas-Stinson School and the surrounding region is likely to experience a Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS) due to the risk of wild fires that could be caused by high winds. Our most recent information indicates that a high number of customers all over Marin and the Bay Area will have their power shut off beginning some time Saturday October 26 and lasting for an indefinite period of time- probably through Monday October 27. It is very likely that school will be closed for safety reasons on Monday and perhaps into next week. If power is off Monday morning, school will be closed. We will send out notifications via the website, app, text message and e-mail by 5:30AM on Monday morning with a final decision about the school closure and will update the website regularly as we learn more. Please prepare for this event by ensuring that you have sufficient food and water for an extended period of time, keeping a battery-operated radio available and charging your mobile phone in advance. KCBS 740 AM Radio will also provide updates if cell service is impacted. We know that events like this are a major inconvenience for our families and employees and we regret having to make this decision. Thank you so much for your patience.
