MT. DIABLO, Calif. - The Mt. Diablo Unified School District will reopen all of its schools by March 29 and March 25 for students in grades 2 and under with a hybrid model of distance learning in the morning and a couple of days per week on campus in the afternoon for students whose families choose that option.
All of that is dependent on members of the MDUSD teachers union Mt. Diablo Education Association ratifying a tentative agreement on a memorandum of understanding announced by both the union and district Tuesday after about 80 hours of bargaining over five days, including 19 hours straight from Monday morning into Tuesday before reaching the agreement at 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Since the pandemic began, isolation, anxiety and hours upon hours of screen time have led to a surge in eating disorders among adolescents at the same time that health education has been cut back in classrooms.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association, calls to their hotline have increased 40% since March 2020. At UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, hospitalizations for eating disorders have doubled.
And a study released last week by researchers at UC San Francisco shows that the more time students spend on social media or watching TV, the more likely they are to engage in uncontrolled eating, or bingeing.
