SACRAMENTO -- A series of interactive maps released by the state of California Friday show the reopening status of schools around the state, from public to private to charter. A side-by-side comparison makes one thing clear: private schools are reopening for in-person learning in areas where public schools have had their doors closed since last March.
Take a look at the public school reopening map, for starters. The map shows every public school district in the state color-coded: pale yellow for distance learning only, light blue for hybrid model and dark blue for in-person learning. There are also three tabs you can toggle between for elementary, middle and high school statuses.
