July 2009 Schools Closed in July by Van W. Riley, Ph.D., Superintendent, Huntington Beach Union High School District

As part of the district’s cost savings plan to conserve energy, all high schools will be closed July 3, 2009 and will reopen on August 3, 2009.  There are limited summer programs at Westminster, Ocean View, and Edison high schools for special education and Title I students, but the offices will be closed for general business until August 3.  It is estimated that these closures will save the district approximately $200,000 in utility and staff costs.  

If a current student needs a transcript or work permit, these items are available during the month of July at the Huntington Beach Union High School District Office located at 5832 Bolsa (near the corner of Bolsa and Springdale) in Huntington Beach.  For more information, please call 714-903-7000.   

 

New students who need to register for the fall semester, or current students with other needs, should go directly to their high school beginning Monday morning, August 3, 2009.   

I appreciate parents’ and community members’ understanding that such cost savings methods will need to be employed for some time as we address the district’s budget reductions that have come down from the state.
