The San Francisco Unified School District is reopening some schools starting today as part of a phased reopening plan. The district is phasing in preschool through second grade today, along with students with special needs. Third through fifth graders will come back starting next Monday. The Board of Education has voted however to not have middle school and high school students come back to campus unless they suffer from moderate to severe special needs. Those not coming back to campus will stay distance learning. No plans have been announced for fall at this time. Click here for more updates from the district.
