State offers school opening guidelines; some parents want fewer restrictions |
|
The California Department of Education released a 62-page guidebook Monday detailing what it wants to see when schools start next school year. The state’s wish list includes face coverings and daily temperature checks for students and staff, campuses that minimize access to volunteers, and classrooms that separate students by six-feet, possibly by moving classes to cafeterias, auditoriums, gyms and outdoors. How students will learn in the age of coronavirus could vary. The guidebook offers four different models of instruction.

California guidelines for reopening schools don’t answer questions about sports returning |
|
The California state superintendent issued guidelines Monday about reopening the state’s public schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the announcement did little to clarify the status of high school sports for the coming school year.
Tony Thurmond, state superintendent of public instruction, released a 62-page guide book, “Stronger Together: A Guidebook for the Safe Reopening of California’s Public Schools.” It briefly addressed high school athletics.
