Cancel Classes at DVC

The Issue

Problem
Due to the fires in northern california smoke has filled the air in the surrounding areas and has created an unhealthy enviornment where it is hazardous and dangerous for students to be on campus. These dangerous conditions not only hinder students educational success but also pose a threat to the health of students. The AQI levels have been fluctuating from 120-170 for the past few days, which 120-150 is in the range of unhealthy for sensitive groups, and 150-200 is at the level of unhealthy for everyone.

Solution
The only way to protect and ensure the safety and success of students is to cancel classes until the air quality in the area has reached a safe level.
