The school year has begun for nearly all of California’s 6.2 million students, and most are in distance learning. However, many schools in counties moving off of the state’s COVID-19 monitoring list are preparing for the possibility of modified forms of in-person learning.

If COVID-19 wasn’t enough, wildfires raged across much of Northern California this month and impacted many school communities as they began the school year. Schools that are considering re-opening not only have to contend with possible smoke or fire damage but implement safe practices for preventing the transmission of COVID-19.
