Distance Learning - Governor Newsom’s Directive Governor Newsom Announcement on Reopening Schools Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday, July 17, unveiled new guidelines mandating that all California schools in counties on the state’s COVID-19 monitoring list begin the school year solely with distance learning and must meet strict criteria in order to open campuses. As of today, 32 of 58 counties, representing more than 90 percent of the state’s schoolchildren, are on the watch list. State criteria to return to a hybrid model of instruction ● Alameda County must be off the state’s monitoring list for at least 14 days. ● Mask requirements for students and staff ● Physical distancing requirements & other adaptations ● Regular testing & dedicated contact tracing ● Rigorous distance learning ● School districts should follow specific guidance if a positive case arises once schools reopen for in-person instruction
