With Gavin Newsom lifting regional stay-at-home orders and Bay Area counties gearing up to reopen, schools are developing plans to resume in-person classes.
The Oakland Unified School District had previously planned to begin in-person classes on January 25th (yesterday), but obviously did not follow through due to the COVID surge over the holidays. Because the stay-at-home orders have been lifted and ICU capacity has improved, OUSD hosted an informational meeting last night regarding their plans for reopening.

OUSD to hold info sessions for reopening schools
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland Unified School District on Monday evening will host an informational session for families about plans for re-opening schools for in-person classes.
There had been a plan to reopen schools on Monday but that was scrapped back in December when the number of Bay Area coronavirus cases began to surge.
Many teachers and parents want to see the number of virus cases level off before going back to in-person learning.
One Oakland parent named Gabrielle told KTVU on Sunday that she is hesitant about going back to school.
