Increased Transparency and Updated School Reopening Maps<\/strong><\/p>\n
The school reopening maps on the\u00a0Safe Schools Hub<\/a>\u00a0have been updated with self-reported data from school districts, charter schools, and private schools throughout the state. Schools are required to submit this data on the second and fourth Monday of each month. This is the first update with data pursuant to\u00a0AB 86<\/a>\u00a0and includes:<\/p>\n
- \n
- School-Level Data.<\/strong>\u00a0Reopening status can be searched for and viewed not only on a district-wide basis, but also a school-by-school basis.<\/li>\n
- Enrollment Data.<\/strong>\u00a0The maps display data not only on the instructional modes offered, but also on the number of students enrolled in different instructional modes: full time in-person, hybrid, and distance learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note: The self-reported data may include some gaps in data and errors. The maps will be routinely updated to reflect new data, and the state will continue to improve data quality and visualizations.<\/p>\n

Tracking Variants<\/strong><\/p>\n
Multiple variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 have been identified globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. These genetic mutations are expected, and some emerge and then disappear, while others persist or become common. Most variants do not have a meaningful impact. Public health becomes concerned about a variant when it affects COVID-19 transmission, severity, testing, treatment or vaccine effectiveness.
