San Luis Obispo County moved back into the red tier of the state's Blueprint for a Safer Economy on March 3, opening the door for in-person instruction to resume. With that decision left up to local school districts, some teachers are pushing for vaccines first, school openings second. Coast Unified School District, with campuses in Cambria and Cayucos, is slated to hold a public hearing on March 11 to decide whether its schools will continue distance learning, reopen campuses, or create a mix of the two for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year. Ahead of the hearing, 12 Cambria teachers from Santa Lucia Middle School and Coast Union High School submitted a letter to the board citing concerns about reopening campuses before teachers are vaccinated.
