After months of waiting, all public and private schools in San Diego County received the green light to reopen for instruction starting Wednesday, now that the county’s COVID case rate has finally stayed low enough to reach the state’s less-restrictive red tier.
The momentous yet expected tier announcement by county officials Tuesday, along with a decision by a county judge on Monday, cleared the way for an expanded reopening at some North County districts that have for weeks been asking the state to reopen their middle and high schools.
At least three of those districts Poway Unified, Carlsbad Unified and San Dieguito Union High this week started offering at least one day a week of in-person instruction to their middle and high school students.

(KGTV) A judge granted a temporary restraining order in favor of a group of North County parents who sued the state in an effort to overturn pandemic-related rules they say prevent school districts from reopening.
Judge Cynthia Freeland said that the state s framework for reopening K-12 schools âis selective in its applicability, vague in its terms, and arbitrary in its prescriptions.â
âWith the mental health effects resulting from (or being exacerbated by) remote learning, one can conclude that disparate treatment being experienced by children affected by the January 2021 Framework is depriving those same children of a fundamental benefit of education, namely provision of the necessary tools to help children adjust normally to their environment,â court documents stated.

A San Diego County judge issued a temporary restraining order Monday, March 15, blocking California from enforcing a wide swath of rules that limit and regulate school openings, saying that the state has denied children their right to an education by forcing many to stay in online learning.
Judge Cynthia Freeland granted the restraining order to a group of North County parents who sued several state leaders last month to overturn the school reopening framework rules that the state issued in January. The lawsuit argued that the rules were unfairly preventing schools from reopening and that children are suffering because of school closures.
