The Maricopa County Community Colleges District, which includes Glendale Community College, 6000 W. Olive Ave., announced on March 30 that employees will continue to work remotely for the remainder of the spring semester. Unless further orders by local health authorities or other government officials mandate a different policy, MCCCD plans to have remote work end May 8.
MCCCD is continuing to practice social distancing to ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff and community due to the public health threat posed by COVID-19.
Some essential personnel will continue to provide critical services at the Maricopa Community Colleges. However, anyone 65 years of age or older and/or who suffers from chronic conditions should not come to any college or any other MCCCD location.
All current online classes are continuing to be held as scheduled, and faculty have already moved existing in-person and hybrid classes to alternative or online learning environments for the remainder of the spring semester.
“With the governor’s decision today to implement enhanced social distancing guidelines and close all K-12 schools for the remainder of the school year, we understand many of our employees have concerns regarding remote work,” Interim Chancellor Dr. Steven R. Gonzales stated in a news release. “We want to inform our community with our decisions as soon as possible so that they can plan accordingly for their families. We are working every day to provide guidance about how our colleges, students, faculty and staff can best protect themselves from potential exposure while advancing academic continuity.”
The Maricopa Community Colleges will continue to keep the community informed of new developments and new actions as they are taken.
