San Bernardino County is among more than 30 counties currently on the state’s monitoring list due to increases in cases of COVID-19, representing nearly 80 percent of California’s population. All K-12 schools in counties on the state’s coronavirus monitoring list must begin the 2020-2021 school year through distance learning only. Before any in-person education activities can resume, counties must be removed from the state monitoring list for 14 days. Those in-person education activities will be under specific guidelines and limitations, including mask requirements, symptom checks to enter school, sanitation stations, and mandated social distancing between students and teachers.
Parents waiting and anxious to find out what is going on with our local schools during the current Covid-19 pandemic can join Acting Superintendent Doug Weller and Assistant Superintendent Amy Woods as they answer questions starting at 10:05 a.m. this Friday, July 24 on the Z107.7 “Up Close” show. Weller and Woods will discuss and take questions about the re-opening of school, their plans and safety protocols.
