Schools eye return to full-time
The El Dorado Union High School District announced Thursday it is moving forward with bringing students back to school full-time and is considering four days of in-person instruction to begin Jan. 11.
The decision came at Tuesday’s EDUHSD Board of Trustees meeting. Schools will only reopen if, come January, it is legally permissible and safe to return at that level of in-person instruction, according to a press release from Superintendent Ron Carruth’s office.
The district now looks to finalize schedules for each campus. El Dorado Union High School District schools include El Dorado, Oak Ridge, Ponderosa, Union Mine and Independence high schools as well as the Virtual Academy.
Trustees are monitoring COVID-19 cases and over the holidays additional safeguards to keep classrooms, offices and facilities safe will be added, said district officials.
“Based on previous spikes, both here in the county as well as internationally, the anticipation is that numbers will likely be trending downwards as we approach Jan. 11.”
Currently high school students in the district have been attending school in a hybrid model two days a week.
