Over the past few weeks public schools across Nevada County have received great news which helps us expand in-person learning offerings. In mid-March the California Department of Public Health updated the student spacing guidelines with evidence that 3 feet of classroom spacing for students is safe and on March 24 Nevada County was moved to the less restrictive Red Tier. As a Grass Valley school district team we are continuing to adapt our programs based upon the major shifts in COVID-19 restrictions and policies.
