Doors to All Marin Schools Have Reopened to Students

As of March 16, all Marin schools have reopened for some degree of in-person learning as the pandemic shows more signs of easing. Following a concerted drive to vaccinate educators and school staff across the county, the Marin County Office of Education estimated 9,000 educators and school staff members in Marin have had the opportunity to receive a COVID-19 vaccination as of March 13.

As local schools have returned to in-person learning either full time or in a hybrid model, they are now planning for expanding in-person learning time, for summer programs, and for the anticipated full opening of schools for the 2021-2022 school year with guidance provided by Marin County Public Health.

Most educators and school staff have either received second vaccination doses or are scheduled to receive them March 27 and April 3 so that on-campus personnel can be fully vaccinated after the return from spring break on April 12.
