MVLA board moves toward reopening
Mountain View High School sits largely empty as students take classes online.
After nearly a year of remote learning, the Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District approved a preliminary plan last week to bring students back to campus once the county is out of the state’s highest risk COVID-19 tier.
The plan would bring students physically back to campus part-time, but in-person instruction wouldn’t resume and classes would remain online. Students would remain with one “stable learning group” all day, working in a “study hall” environment and logging into their virtual classes, according to the plan.

Desks are spaced apart from each other, ready for the small groups of students the Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District has brought back to campus. The district has begun some small in-person groups, focusing on students failing multiple classes.
Before the pandemic, when students were struggling in class, a teacher could stop by their desk, tap them on the shoulder and provide some one-on-one support. On Zoom, that can’t happen.
The best bet is often to put students in breakout rooms, Los Altos High School teacher Arantxa Arriada said, so she can switch among them and check in with students. However, that makes it impossible to supervise what the rest of the class is doing.
