On March 12, the San Marcos Unified School District (SMUSD) released a statement saying all extracurricular activities would be canceled until March 31, but on the morning of Friday, March 13, as students began their school day, they were informed of school closures across the district starting Monday, March 16.
Loading ...Schools are set to reopen on April 13, the day that students were supposed to return from their spring recess, but parents and students anticipate a formal statement that will be issued later today by the district confirming the plan of action.
