The Martinez Unified School District still plans to provide a “hybrid” combination of distance learning and in-person classroom learning sometime this spring, but distance learning will remain compulsory as long as Contra Costa County remains in the COVID-19 “purple tier”.
Any in-person learning will have to wait until the county remains in the less restrictive “red tier” for at least two weeks, the report said.
The district staff report, scheduled to be discussed at tonight’s MUSD Board of Education meeting, noted several challenges for creating a hybrid learning schedule specifically at Alhambra High School.
The school’s seven-period schedule does not lend itself to a simple block schedule, the report says, and hybrid schedules create issues for teachers unable to return to in-person learning due to health concerns and/or family
caregiving obligations brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, among other considerations.
The Martinez district had originally planned to start “hybrid” learning in its lower elementary school grades in early January, but as with many Bay Area school districts, the “purple tier” under which eight of the nine Bay Area counties now fall may delay reopening plans in many districts.

I PRAY someone from the school board reads this
Fauci admits kids should be in school and that the transmission rate is really low
Dr and scientists all agree this is hurting our children more than Covid
Thanks Dems for your made up dark winter!
Now Fauci says schools should be open.
We’re going to follow the science now, right?
Not the schools. It was never about the science. Just a convenient phrase.
