With $110 million in bond money to spend, Ravenswood City School District is making it a No. 1 priority to replace aging classrooms and crumbling infrastructure at Belle Haven Elementary School.
Ravenswood remains the only school district in the area that still requires students and staff to wear masks indoors. Its board of trustees, after a lively debate, decided to make outdoor masking optional starting April 18.
For the first time in two years, Menlo Park students are seeing each others faces on playgrounds around campus. With the omicron surge subsiding, local schools are re-evaluating masking policies and expanding on-campus activities.
