COVID-19 update: California Governor @gavinnewsom COVID-19 update: California Governor @gavinnewsom today announced that Orange County, along with 27 other counties will move back to the most restrictive purple tier of California’s color-coded tracking system. But what does this mean for local schools? Schools that were previously cleared to reopen for modified on-site instruction will be allowed to stay open with the necessary precautions, including face coverings and physical distancing. But based on state guidelines, campuses that have not yet reopened for in-person instruction will have to continue offering distance learning until infection rates improve. Districts that were in the process of taking a phased-in approach to reopening their schools will now have to submit their plans for approval to County Health Officer Dr. Clayton Chau.
