Salinas-based Hartnell College said Wednesday it is closing its campuses as part of Monterey County’s “shelter-in-place” order.
The college said that it will move to online education after this week’s Spring Break. The campuses will all be closed except of a limited number of essential services on the Salinas Main Campus.
Hartnell spokesperson Scott Faust told KION Television that the staff remaining on campus will be a limited number of custodial staff, IT employees, student support service employees and security.
Faust said the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to continue paying all Hartnell employees during the “shelter-in-place” order.
