To help curb the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing the Coconino County Education Service Agency (CCESA) has decided to postpone the 2020 Teacher of the Year and Rookie Teacher of the Year celebration until Early August.
The CDC is now recommending that everyone wear cloth masks in situations where social distancing is difficult (i.e. in grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.)
Wearing masks will help reduce spread from non-symptomatic people who are infected and not aware.
Here is the advice of the CDC.
Effective Saturday, April 4 at 5 p.m., all playgrounds, basketball courts, ramadas (including picnic tables and barbecue grills), and restroom facilities managed by Coconino County Parks and Recreation will close until further notice.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Monthand this is top of mind for me as we move through the COVID-19 pandemic and the looming economic recession that will likely follow. The stress today on our families is unprecedented and my fear is that some children may bear the brunt of that reality.
The Coconino Coalition for Children and Youth recently published their Prevention Plan & Needs Assessment. In the report, Virginia Watahomigie CCC&Y Executive Director says, “We can no longer say-this is not my problem. The effects of childhood trauma have tremendous costs to society, and it is imperative that we develop the understanding of why and what can be done.”
Coconino County is here to support our community during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The County has several resources for our community to use during this time.
You can visit our website by clicking here to see all the resources we are providing through Coconino County.
Below are some resources offered through the County as well as our community partners.

Coconino County will reopen the Willard Springs Transfer Station for the summer season for free green waste-only disposal.
The station will not be accepting bulk waste due to cash handling and social distancing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Green waste disposal provides an incentive for residents to clean up their properties before wildfire season.
United Way of Northern Arizona has recently awarded a $50,000 grant from its COVID-19 Fund to the Flagstaff Family Food Center (FFFC), a nonprofit meeting the challenges of COVID-19 by adapting how it provides services while dramatically expanding its services to those in need.

Upon receiving the above request from Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS), acting Superintendent Mary Risser, with the support of the NPS Deputy Director, Operations, David Vela and Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, made the decision to immediately close the park until further notice.
The Coconino Coalition for Children and Youth (CCC&Y) strives to prevent substance abuse and other negative outcomes in adulthood by understanding the effects of childhood traumatic experience and mobilizing community action. Research shows that Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, contribute to the likelihood of addiction. Sadly, however, Arizona ranks higher than the national average for children who have experienced ACEs. These can include childhood traumas such as abuse and neglect. In fact, according to the Arizona ACE Consortium, “It is estimated that nearly 70,000 children in Arizona have more than five ACEs.”
