OAKLAND, Calif. - New state and federal Covid safety guidelines that reduce the recommended minimum distance between students from 6 feet to 3 feet should make it easier for California schools to return students to classrooms full time, but most districts are not likely to make the change until the fall.
Instead, many district officials contacted by EdSource expressed reluctance to make changes to instructional models this school year because most have either reopened or plan to reopen campuses in the next few weeks.

POWAY (KUSI) – On Monday, Superior Court Judge Cynthia Freeland ruled that it was unconstitutional for the state to deny middle and high schools to reopen safely, prompting Poway Unified School District to move from one day a week of in-person classes to two days a week.
The district currently has students on campus one day a week in cohorts and will gradually bring students back two days a week starting March 22.
Poway mom Laura McCoy joined KUSI to discuss the developments.
