K-6 School Reopening:
Contra Costa County is currently in the Purple Tier. Schools may not reopen for grades 7-12 while in the Purple Tier. K-6 school may reopen for in-person instruction in the Purple Tier if the adjusted case rate has been less than 25 per 100,000 population (currently 13.8) per day for at least 5 consecutive days (schools can now reopen) and the school has an approved COVID Safety Plan. Local school officials will decide whether and when to reopen once these criteria are met.
So is the case rate 14.2 or 13.8%???
And schools are still not open … Wonder when MDUSD will open .. we have been able to open for a few days now and only today does the board send out a survey of what parents want. Full 100% Distance (Failed) Learning or 2 hours a day times 4 days a week. After all of this, only 2 hours a day … And no date provided on when they would start.
And we still have different numbers being used for schools and sports. How I wish we could all use one set of numbers …
Zero communication to parent’s in Martinez except to tell us football is starting ????
Maybe they think if they ignore us the kid’s will just go away
Meanwhile is richer communities …SRV opening March 1 Orinda already opened WC open
Not to mention that the union still has not agreed to come back in person AT ALL as of yet.
