Some Oakland Unified students plan to stay home from school Tuesday if the school district does not comply with their COVID safety demands, according to a petition from students.
Oakland schools plan for in-person instruction delayed
By Andre Torrez
OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland schools won’t open for in-person learning by January 25th as originally proposed.
In a letter, Oakland Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell explained that setting a date was required, but due to worsening COVID transmission rates in Alameda County, the phased-in reopening approach won’t go forward as planned.
“We will continue to plan because we have a duty to be as prepared as possible to resume in-person learning when the conditions are safe and in alignment with our public health guidance,” Johnson-Trammell wrote.
