More than 99 percent of the state’s more than 1,000 public school districts plan to fully reopen for in-person classes in the fall, according to data state officials released.
According to the data, 99.34 percent of the state’s 1,037 school districts will fully reopen for the fall 2021 semester. In addition, 89 percent of school districts plan to offer summer education opportunities and support like tutoring and mental health services.
The data is from reports from 85 to 90 percent of the state’s K-12 school districts.
The remaining 0.66 percent of districts that are not planning to offer full in-person classes is likely due to reporting error, according to a spokesperson for the governor’s office.
State officials are also unaware of any districts that are not planning to offer in-person classes in the fall.
“A restorative summer filled with reconnection, enrichment and joy, followed by a return to full in-person instruction, is what’s best for our students,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.
Newsom has previously said the state will tie school funding to whether schools and school districts fully reopen in the fall.
The California Department of Public Health also plans to launch a summer outreach campaign among parents in the state’s communities hit hardest by the pandemic in an effort to build confidence in the reopening of schools.
The CDPH will use $25 million from Assembly Bill 86, which focused on school reopenings and COVID-19 case reporting within schools, to fund the campaign and collaborate with local health departments and offices of education.
“We still have a long way to go in our recovery but providing our students with more support and opportunities is exactly how we bring California roaring back,” Newsom said.

I hope some of this planned outreach “to build back confidence in the community ion the reopening of schools” will be here in our towns. Because MDEA damaged the hell out of parent trust and confidence. Even seeing a statistic like 99% plan you reopen, I still won’t totally believe it until I see it. I’ve lost almost complete trust, mostly with teachers unions.
yeah yeAH
WE also heard children are not effected by the faucivirus
we also heard kids dont need a vaccine
we also heard kids would go back to school in the beginning of this year
only to find out it would cost us on top of our tax dollars ( where did they go)
only 8 billion dollars to open for 6 weeks
union strong arm is working dem voters are bending over faster than …
well anyways
with the lying newscum and flip flop dem run school system and unions grabbing millions in bonuses
it appears your socialist dreams are here
this is socialism you work and the higher ups take all the money
but but in socialism we are part owners
yes of course you work as a part owner and get a very small stipend that was divided up over the millions ….here is your 600 dollar check
while the newscum parties like a dem politician laying down the whip
and taking ppp loans in the millions
yay you won
now your children serve a socialist regime
great job
the foucist is pleased that you followed right along and made him billions
Will the Mt Diablo School District fully open, without caveat, in Fall of 2021? Or will they come back with yet another set of outrageous demands? Will they list in detail all arrangements to the contrary?
I can’t wait to see the results of standardized testing in the 2021/22 year.
… MDUSD is only allowing summer school to kds who supposedly need it – what is their plan to make up the year of class everybody has missed? oh… there isn’t one
Where were the teachers demanding to go back and teach?
They didn’t demand it, none of them, because they don’t care the tiniest about educating the youth. They care about big fat salaries (https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/school-districts/contra-costa/acalanes-union-high/), their tenure, their 12 months a off a year during the pandemic, up from 3 months a year off during regular years!
Teachers never cared about doing their job properly, they just want as much largesse as they can possibly squeeze out of the taxpayer through their corrupt, godless union.
