Just over one hour ago the School District announcing students will be headed back to class but with big changes. Good evening. Betty yu is in oakland with the latebreaking details. Reporter the unified School District said the first day of school this year will not be filled with the kind of joy and excitement that teachers, parents and staff traditionally look forward to because of the pandemic and we are hearing initial pushback against the plan that was just released via a Virtual Press conference. School in oakland will begin in one month with Distance Learning for all students and the district will introduce phases of blended learning where students will attend Student School in person and to some Distance Learning. The district expects that the first base phase will last for weeks and it will ensure the school sites in oakland will have enough time to implement covid 19 safety plans. The district is also encouraging everyone in the community and that is students and teachers to wear masks and the plan was released after heavy and lengthy consideration from both Public Health experts and school leaders. The decision is not an easy one to make as there are different needs for family and staff. Many families told us they do not feel comfortable with students returning the class and many others said they want their students back in class and there are serious concerns with covid and for the students Emotional Wellbeing because of isolation which so many of our kids have been living under and because of lack of inperson instruction. Im not competent to be there with any kind of hybrid model. As long as you have contact in an institutional setting, you have spread of covid19. We have to know where the virus is and we have to do mass testing and tracing and that is the first step. Reporter that was an oakland unified School District teacher who believes the risk is too great to return to the classroom even it after four weeks of Distance Learning and on monday there will be a Community Townhall meeting in oakland at 5 00 p.

And he says that as a reason for concern. The release rate is low 3 and most of the guys that the governor is letting go our at 58 . After the outbreak occurred he reached out to state leaders handing them a list of more than 300 inmates he thought should be eligible for release and instead the first round will include inmates with 180 days or less to serve on the sentence and those that are at higher risk of complications of covid19 and the move to release prisoners has received support from many local lawmakers such as the state assembly men and state senator. Covid19 infection searched back in april so this is very late coming to this but it is something that must be done.
