Some good news:
SFT has been actively working on getting approval to modify the skills delivery policy with IFSAC and Pro Board for about a year and this pandemic and SFT think’s they finally sealed the deal. SFT believe’s they are weeks away from having a formal approval to deliver all assigned skills to the Lead Evaluator at the time of approval; which would eliminate these types of auto generated emails. Once formalized, SFT will send all skills at the time of approval and 3 weeks before the module begins the Lead will share the skills with associated staff (just as before). So, this will be a small administrative change but significant for SFT in setting up and tracking who gets what exactly 3 weeks before and trying to manage date changes, etc. and SFT think’s this is helpful for the Lead Evaluator because they will have advance notice to what the skills will be.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to get a pole of how many academy students who will be impacted by COVID-19 state wide. Thank you for your time and help. This information will be critical as we lobby towards making changes at the state level.

Everyone,
We all have been asked to get our Fire Program Directors/Coordinators to fill out the number of Cadets we have in our programs. OES wants to know how many EMT students, Paramedic Students , Fire Academy Cadets , Nursing Students , RT Students we have that may be deploy to help in a limited role to help in a “worst” case scenario ASAP:

Matt,
The last sentence allows us to continue. I took this to mean skills training – small group maintaining 6 feet distance. I agree with your idea going forward with skills training and testing, small group format.
To that end, “effective Friday, March 13 through Tuesday, March 17, Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College will suspend all in-person and on-campus convening of classes and student support services. Online and virtual instruction will begin Wednesday, March 18, 2020 through Friday, April 24, 2020. We recognize that not all classes and/or services can be moved to an online format. In these limited cases, some courses involving labs, studio instruction, career and technical education skills-based courses, performance classes, physical education and student support services may occur on campus.”
Thanks for the guidance and leadership.
