It's official: Sacramento County public schools won't reopen this fall (classrooms)

Public school campuses in Sacramento County will remain closed when instruction resumes in the fall, leaving tens of thousands of families and teachers to begin planning for an extension of distance-learning programs.

The Sacramento County Office of Education, which oversees districts serving more than 250,000 students from kindergarten through high school, announced that its 13 districts will continue distance learning programs they implemented in the spring. The decision to close campuses was made by school officials.

“Conditions are not safe enough for students, staff and families to allow school to open up in person at this time,” said Sacramento County Superintendent of Schools Dave Gordon.

Other districts and counties in California have already announced plans to implement distance learning-only programs for the fall.
Concerns about reopening schools were not only focused on student safety. As teachers unions polled their staff, teachers overwhelmingly voted to continue distance learning through the fall as a safety precaution.
