The decision to keep California schools closed through June comes as part of a continued effort to prioritize public health during an unprecedented global crisis. Educational officials have emphasized the importance of curbing community transmission, especially as new variants of the virus remain a concern. Remote learning will persist as the primary mode of instruction, with districts working to enhance virtual tools and provide support for students and teachers alike.

Key measures being implemented during the extended closure include:

  • Meal distribution programs to address food insecurity
  • Enhanced mental health services via teletherapy and counseling
  • Regular communications between districts and parents to update on progress and guidelines
