The San Dieguito Union High School Board voted last week to reopen schools starting in January, despite warnings from district administrators, the teachers union and others that there won’t be enough staff and that the reopening violates state rules.
The board voted 3-2 late Tuesday night to offer all students one-day-a-week, in-person instruction starting Jan. 4, and five-days-a-week in-person instruction starting Jan. 27.
The board voted at 11 p.m., after receiving hundreds of public comments from students, parents and teachers arguing for or against reopening next month.
San Dieguito serves about 12,900 middle and high school students at 10 schools.

More than three-quarters of all K-12 students in San Diego County are learning online now, as the raging COVID-19 pandemic shutters many schools a second time.
Data released by the county office of education Tuesday evening shows that 75 percent of all students public and private are learning online rather than in person, up from 68 percent a month ago.
The numbers of distance learners reflect family choice and school closures.
More families who are enrolled at schools that are open may be choosing to keep their children home out of fear of being exposed to COVID-19.

Leaders of hundreds of now-shuttered San Diego County schools say the surge in COVID-19 cases is keeping schools closed indefinitely for thousands of students. Some school leaders and parents say their frustration is growing because the worse the surge gets, the farther away a possibility of reopening seems.
“Every time people make a decision like not to wear masks, every time people make decisions to congregate with people outside of their households the result of those individual actions is that it will delay the time that kids can be back in school,” said Richard Barrera, vice president of the San Diego Unified School Board.
