Ocean View School District Board of Trustees President Patricia Singer announced Wednesday the decision to pause the proposed closing of three schools, and repurposing of another, for the 2023-24 school year.
As coronavirus case rates continue to drop in Orange County, students in Huntington Beach have made their way back to campuses for the first time in weeks.
Huntington Beach Union High School District marked the start of the second semester Tuesday with a return to a hybrid learning model. Students had been distance learning exclusively for about a month, since Jan. 4.
Huntington Beach City School District and Ocean View School District also returned to their hybrid models on Monday.
“It was wonderful to see them return in their hybrid schedules, returning and learning in classrooms with their teachers,” OVSD Board of Trustees President Patricia Singer said. “It’s always good to have the kids back in their classrooms . We’re happy to see that the [COVID-19] rates go in the right direction, and we’re committed to keeping in this hybrid schedule and consistency as long as possible.”
