Fortuna Union High School District campuses, including Fortuna High School, East High School and Academy of the Redwoods, will switch to distance learning starting tomorrow and running through Feb. 5 due to what the district described as “staff challenges” due to quarantines.
“All classes will meet virtually at regularly scheduled time,” the post states. “There have been zero cases of school transmission.”
Toddy Thomas Middle School moved to distance learning earlier this week after “one or more students” tested positive for COVID-19, some students were exhibiting symptoms and multiple students “may have been exposed.” (Read more here.)
The district notes that food services will continue to be available and deliveries will be made to bus stops for students who live outside of Fortuna. Families of students who live in the city can pick up meals at school cafeterias.

They are lying when they say there are no student transmissions. My child was exposed to covid from another student in this school. A majority of teachers and many parents asked for them not to open. But the school board ignored all of us. The superintendent needs to be fired! Ellebrecht was voted out. Get rid of the rest of the school board. They do not have our children’s lives or the teachers lives as priority. I got the call that they were closing and told there was no transmission in the school. Not even five minutes later I got a call that my child was exposed in school. So this is BS. They are lying to the public!
