On January 14, 2021, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) released a framework to support school communities as they decide when and how to implement in-person instruction. This document consolidates and updates guidance provided in 2020 and is a public health directive that schools must follow. It provides key mitigation strategies, criteria to reopen for in-person instruction, and requirements for a COVID Safety Plan (CSP). 

 

This single consolidated framework and updated guidance for schools can be found on the CA Safe Schools for All webpage or at this link:

 

 

 

Each school site or program has a Site-Specific Prevention Plan posted on their webpage or available here.
