Student, staff and family safety is our number one priority. State health officials have made it clear that the safest place to be is home during the COVID-19 pandemic. With that in mind, Bassett USD campuses will remain physically closed for the remainder of the academic school year. This decision aligns with the recommendation from the California Department of Education and the Los Angeles County Office of Education.

The Board of Education will conduct a Special Meeting on May 6, 2020 at 5pm. Agenda will be posted on the web tonight by 5pm.
