A coalition of parents, caregivers, students and community members who are calling for the reopening of West Contra Costa School District (WCCUSD) schools for in-person learning plan to rally at Nicholl Park in Richmond on Saturday, which will mark the 1-year anniversary of school building closures.
The group, called West Contra Costa Safe Open Schools, is calling for WCCUSD “to prioritize kids and (1) move quickly to safely open schools in-person this spring, in small, voluntary pilots at the very least and for all grades, and (2) immediately commit to developing a plan for full in-person reopening in fall 2021.”
