The Mayor provides updates on the closed public hiking trails and city parks. The Mayor also talks about how these same public parks have closed all public basketball courts, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, and dog parks. The Mayor also commented he was disappointed about the amount of people still going out in public and not following guidelines. Mayor Smyth fears more aggressive steps will have to be taken if the people of Santa Clarita aren’t able to do a better job of quarantining. The Mayor talks about how the state does not want to send the police to have to enforce the measures because they need to be focused on greater issues in the city. Mayor Smyth finishes by showing gratitude for those who are listening to the guidelines, and everyone that is working hard to continue to help maintain the other local infrastructure in the community.

About SCVi & iLEAD Schools:
“At iLEAD we’ve built a model based on what we believe to be the best of all that is out there. We believe passionately in project-based learning not because it’s a fad but because it goes to the heart of how kids learn. We’ve incorporated technology not as a spiffy add-on but as an organic part of the learning process in the 21st century.
We value and encourage leadership not just as a part of a career track but by instilling in each learner the confidence and character that inspire others.
It’s not unusual that we want our learners to think for themselves. But to do this requires a grounding in the arts, in design and in humanities, and the need to feel at home in the world. For us, “thinking for themselves” is not just about solving problems but about an organic vision of the world they live in and one they will inherit.
Finally, we value the social and emotional development of our learners. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach. Our goal is nothing short of learning, to change the world.” Read More…
