Superintendent of Cajon School District, Dr. David Miyashiro
The motto for CVUSD is “World of Work” centering on a program of not only teaching the essential subjects toward secondary education but is a program focused on Happy Kids, Healthy Relationships on a Path to Gainful Employment.
In April 2020, Covid required distance learning, and CVUSD became innovative and figured it out when the teachers and parents wanted the children in the classrooms to learn. The district provided free childcare for essential work so they could continue to teach and provide for the students. It began with 1 school and 18 children and by May all the schools in the district were doing the same.
This led to the schools beginning social distancing within the classrooms. The district has used “TED” talks to help develop better social skills.
Dr. David says CVUSD is the best place to live, work and raise children. This entails the unions and school boards working together.
