Important Message from MTACSD regarding COVID-19

Posted on by

The health and safety of our teachers, students, and families are of utmost importance. Therefore, the MTAC San Diego Branch Board of Directors has decided to cancel or suspend until further notice all of our branch events that were scheduled over the next 8 weeks. This decision follows the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state, and local health authorities. These directives require avoiding non-essential gatherings and to practice social distancing over the next 8 weeks. The MTAC San Diego Branch Board considers our action to be our responsibility to reduce spreading this virus within our community.

Additionally, it is the goal of many teachers to continue with lessons at this time. Therefore, to keep all students, parents, and studios safe, the MTAC San Diego Branch Board recommends implementing online lessons now. The Branch Board appreciates the cooperation of our members in following these guidelines and teachers should adopt all precautionary measures.
