What Is Happening

• Ramona Elementary will not open for the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
• Students and staff will be temporarily relocated to other schools.
• This decision was made after reviewing the results of a preliminary facilities investigation.
• Based on the information we have at this time, addressing these concerns will require a comprehensive assessment, additional expertise, and the development of a detailed plan to guide next steps.

Investigation

• Identified structural damage that needs further investigation
• Level of investigation that needs to be done cannot be done while students are on campus

• Experts are evaluating repair options and timelines.
• Families and staff will continue to receive updates as decisions are made.

Our Commitment
