Marin County Reaches “One Million” Milestone In Minimizing COVID-19 Spread Within Schools
As the Center for Disease Control provides new data supporting the reopening of classrooms across the nation, schools across Marin County have already demonstrated how it can be done safely for both students and staff. One bright spot during the COVID-19 pandemic has been the success of Marin schools in preventing the spread among students, teachers, and campus staff after the partial return to in-person learning almost six months ago.
Closely following Public Health protocols and procedures delineated in individual school safety plans, some campuses were allowed to reopen September 8, 2020, after nearly six months of pandemic-caused closures and exclusively online learning. Since September, many schools have expanded the number of students they are serving in-person using a carefully planned, phased-in strategy.
According to figures maintained by Marin County Public Health and the Marin County Office of Education (MCOE), there have been only 10 cases of suspected in-school transmission of COVID-19 as of February 5.
