OCDE honors school counselors for contributions and support during an unprecedented year |
|
Although the pandemic has once again canceled an in-person awards ceremony, that didn’t stop OCDE from honoring nine local school counselors for their dedication and commitment to Orange County students and families. As we mentioned, National School Counseling Week is celebrated the first week in February to recognize school counselors’ unique contribution within our school systems. |

All Orange County school employees to be offered COVID-19 vaccine, but when will that happen? |
|
People providing education at all levels in Orange County could soon begin receiving vaccinations for the coronavirus through a new partnership, but supplies remain a hurdle to offering a precise timetable, county Superintendent of Schools Al Mijares said Tuesday, Feb. 2. The Orange County Department of Education announced it will team with the OC Health Care Agency to distribute vaccine shots to teachers and support staff at public and private schools from preschool through higher education, as well as home daycare providers, as soon as eligibility is expanded to the education sector.

Quick Guide: What California’s color-coded county tracking system means for schools |
|
On Jan. 14 the California Department of Public Health issued new guidance which has significantly changed the requirements for school openings. Schools in counties in the purple zone are still not allowed to open for grades 7-12. However, schools are now allowed to open for K-6 grades even if they are in the purple tier, as long as their “average adjusted case rate” is below 25 cases per 100,000 population per day in that county, and they file a Covid Safety Plan. As of Feb. 2, 18 counties that had an average adjusted case rate below 25 per 100,000 population include: Alpine, Amador, Del Norte, Lake, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Modoc, Placer, Plumas, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sierra, Siskiyou, Trinity, Tuolumne and Yolo. |

Despite concern from many secondary school parents that the continued closure of schools is causing social isolation and other problems, school administrators said it’s still unclear when students can return to Thurston Middle School and Laguna Beach High School. Secondary students will continue with distance learning until Orange County moves from the purple tier to the red tier, Supt. Jason Viloria said on Jan. 28.
