New map shows status of school reopenings across California

As part of California’s Safe Schools for All Plan, Gov. Gavin Newsom today announced that an interactive map showing the reopening status of schools across the state is now live.

“As Covid-19 conditions continue to improve and vaccinations ramp up throughout the state, this map will provide local communities with accessible, up-to-date information on how districts in their communities and beyond are adapting to the pandemic, including safety planning and implementation,” Newsom said. “This map is one of many resources we have made available that will help school staff and families make informed decisions as we safely reopen our schools.”

The map shows data from public, charter and private schools indicating whether campuses are reopened, as well as details about their Covid-19 safety planning.

The map comes about a month after the state launched the Safe Schools for All Hub, which houses information about how schools can safely return to in-person instruction. California schools could also receive nearly $90 billion, including $3.8 billion above the Proposition 98 funding minimum, through the current state budget proposal for 2021-22.
