Elementary Schools Reopening In Santa Monica-Malibu District
MALIBU The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) agreed with the Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers Association (SMMCTA) collectively known as “the Parties” to implement a hybrid model for elementary schools beginning April 12, 2021.
The hybrid model entails 4 days per week of in-person/on-site attendance and one day of “synchronous/asynchronous” learning, according to a joint statement from the parties released on Tuesday, March 9. The hybrid model details 4 days per week of no less than 10 hours per week and one day per week of learning from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with asynchronous learning after 10:30 a.m.

With the launch of a teaching model called Distance Learning Plus less than two weeks away, educators at Malibu’s elementary schools are prepping campuses for the return of TK-5 students.
Under a deal reached between the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and its teachers union, DL+ as it’s known, includes distance learning three days per week and in-person activities the others. Officials say the agreement “seeks to balance having on-site/in-person academic, physical and social-emotional learning experiences, while not disadvantaging students who remain at home.”
Surfside News took a tour of Malibu Elementary School to see how things will change when students return the week of March 15.
Reopening efforts ramp up in SMMUSD as deal nears

SMMUSD and teacher union officials are nearing a deal that would allow Santa Monica elementary school students to make a return to school for in-person learning on March 15 with an expansion of in-class time after Spring Break (March 29 – April 9).
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and the Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers Association leaders said this week they are close to having an agreement, but neither Superintendent Ben Drati, Board President Jon Kean or union president Sarah Braff could speak about the matter during a public discussion Thursday since it would go against the good-faith negotiations that have been had so far.
