Summary:
|
On December 3rd, Governor Newsom announced that all sectors other than retail and essential operations would be closed in regions of the State where less than 15 percent of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds are available under a new Regional Stay Home Order. Although health officials throughout the Bay Area were glad to see the State take action in light of the rapidly escalating surge in hospitalizations statewide, many believed even more aggressive action was necessary in the Bay Area to slow the surge and prevent our local hospitals from being overwhelmed. Rather than waiting until ICU bed availability reached critical levels and delay closures that are inevitable, the Health Officers for the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and Santa Clara as well as the City of Berkeley jointly announced implementing the State’s Regional Stay Home Order on December 7, 2020.
Mt. Diablo Unified School District originally targeted January 11, 2021 as the date to begin bringing students back to our campuses within a hybrid learning model. Staff is recommending that the Governing Board delay the reopening date and evaluate the reopening of the schools at the January 13, 2021 Board meeting.
