Superintendent Don Austin speaks to student journalists in a press conference this morning in the Media Arts Center regarding the shelter-in-place Tuesday at Palo Alto High School. According to Austin, clearer communication by the district to staff and students is needed in case of similar future events, as some teachers were unsure of what defined a shelter-in-place protocol. “What is important to know in these situations is the kind of communication you should expect,” Austin said. “If theres a serious situation, youre gonna hear an announcement about it.”

A police officer talks with students as they regroup during brunch today near the Palo Alto High School Library. Officers were called onto campus to investigate an anonymous shooter threat taped to a social studies classroom door. According to history teacher Jack Bungarden, the administration handled the response to the threat in an adequate manner. “The leadership of the school did an excellent job of responding,” Bungarden said. “There were problems with communication and some clarity and some confusion. But even if we were well trained and well prepared, and this is part of the scenario that we had practiced, theres still going to be an element of that. Perfection is hard to achieve.” (Photo: Leena Hussein)

True Salon is still closed today despite the lifting of restrictions allowing personal care services to reopen. As the rate of COVID-19 cases lighten, businesses are adjusting to more lax policies on indoor and outdoor services. “I think that the future of salons remains strong but we have had to adapt with our schedules for social distancing and sanitation,” Lori Romero, owner of True Salon in Palo Alto said. “We as stylists are known to double book and multi-task while providing excellent services.”
