The Delta school district this week said it’s limiting public access to all school district sites by extending its cancellation of all facility rentals until August 31.

To help limit the spread of COVID-19 and to support public health official requests for social distancing, the cancellations affect any scheduled school and district events, youth and adult community groups,

non-profit societies and any bookings at the Genesis and Equinox theatres

The district also notes licensees at district sites, such as daycare centres, are run independently and are currently not included in the cancellation.

Families are encouraged to connect with their childcare provider directly to see if locations are providing regular operation.

Noting it will not be accepting facility rentals for dates within the remainder of the school year, the school district also says it continues to work with public health officials and the Ministry of Education on the COVID-19 response.

Community groups who had events scheduled at a district site will be contacted directly.

Meanwhile, the school district last week in a notification to parents explained some of the safety measures that will be included in schools that are to re-open on a limited basis on June 1.

Those measures include only staff and students being allowed in the facilities.

Parents had to complete a survey this week letting the district know if their children would be participating in the voluntary return.
