One of the first public schools in California has opened fully to in-person learning, a major milestone in the state's fight to return to normalcy.
Thurmond said he was confident that masks, hand-washing and frequent testing of staff and students were enough to allow schools to reopen safely.After initially mandating a ban on unmasked students on campus, the state is now leaving enforcement decisions up to local officials.
California was one of the slowest states in the country to reopen its public schools after the pandemic forced millions into online learning for more than a year. When schools did reopen, most districts went to a hybrid model that had students go to class in person only a couple of days a week. Thurmond promised that public schools can come back even better if everyone does their part to keep kids in classrooms., issuing a stricter order than what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends. The federal agency has said masks are necessary indoors only for those who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Thurmond commended the Chula Vista district’s safety measures, including making rapid coronavirus tests available to every student regularly. He said that is key until a vaccine is made available for children under 12, which could happen this fall.A $4.6-billion funding surge has allowed most California districts to open summer school and enrichment programs. But attendance is spotty.
